"The Corner", home to the Standing on the
Corner Park which is dedicated to the famous
Eagles song, "Take it Easy". "Well I'm standing
on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and its such a
fine sight to see. Its a girl my lord in a flat bed
Ford slowing down to take a look at me. Take it
easy...." www.standinonthecorner.com

Sadly in October 2004, The old "Rasco"
building which anchors the Standing on
the Corner Park was gutted by fire. The
good news is that State of Arizona is
helping to finance the clean-up of the
site, and the City is working to save the
park.

About Downtown Winslow
After Interstate 40 bypassed Winslow in 1970, the downtown area fell into a 30 year decline. But hidden
away in the downtown were a great collection of historical buildings, ripe for the moment when the traveler
became tired of the homogenized I-40 experience, and again wanted to discover small town America along
old Route 66. So Winslow was a bit of a time capsule, waiting for someone to find it again. The process of
revival began in 1997 with the restoration of La Posada Hotel. This Fred Harvey Hotel was built in 1930 by
Mary Colter and is recognized on the National Register as a masterpiece of southwestern architecture. The
70,000 square foot hotel is modeled after a grand Spanish hacienda and sits on 16 acres of lawns and
gardens. For more information about La Posada, or to make a reservation visit www.laposada.org . La
Posada acted as an anchor for downtown revival. Today downtown Winslow is again alive with art galleries,
antique stores, a restored 1914 movie theatre, restaurants and coffee shops. Below are a series of photos of
the downtown area. Each of these places exists within a two block radius of SNOWDRIFT.
