Take It Easy


Beautiful, wistful artwork depicting the legendary pickup-driving woman that inspired the Jackson Browne (the song ultimately completed by Glenn Frey of the Eagles), Standin' On the Corner Park, downtown Winslow, Arizona.

Winslow, Arizona is a dusty little old town in northern Arizona with a (briefly) glorious past and an uncertain future. 

It was quite the famous little stop along the railroad in its glory days. A luxury hotel stayed in by the movie stars of the day.

No more. Amtrak, the modern passenger train, still stops there, while the other freight trains roar on by. But signs of resurrection occur. Most notably the restoration of La Posada, which is quite the hotel/restaurant. Beautiful.
