EASY ON THE CORNER: A conversation with a statue on a corner in Winslow Arizona

By Dana Eker

Take a brief visit to the Standing On The Corner Park in Winslow Arizona. The corner made famous with a song by the Eagles in 1972; 'Take It Easy.' Thousands of people stop by each year to have their photo taken with the bronze statute named "Easy". A statue of musician Glenn Frey also has a place in the park to keep 'Easy' company. A quick stop at the Corner does not provide enough time to learn and appreciate the history of US Route 66 through Winslow. This publication gives a brief history of US Route 66 through trails used by trappers, migrant farmer's, the military convoys and work programs developed to pull the nation out of the depression, all from the perspective of the statue named 'Easy' as if he is your tour guide while using the language of the 70's. Also consider, after the tourists have left for the day, what type of conversation might the two statues have with each other while alone on the Corner. Included is a 70's era glossary and closeup photos of the bronze statues, road signs, the park where the corners is located.
