I've embarked on another trip, taking in dinosaur trackways, national parks, ghost towns, haunted spots and more. For much of my journey so far, I've traveled on historic Route 66, taking in fascinating spots of Americana along the way.
In the 1970s, the Eagles wrote a song called "Take It Easy." In it are the lines, "I'm standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see. There's a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowing down to take a look at me."

The town of Winslow, Arizona celebrates this Eagles song with a statue, a park, a mural, signs, and the song being played through a speaker across the street from the statue. The mural is quite striking, depicting a girl in a flatbed Ford, and there is even a flatbed Ford parked at the corner.
