Standin’ On A Corner

If you are in the area a must see and do. The gift shop has about everything you can imagine, but pricey on a lot of their items.

I’m totally aging myself with this review, but, hey… I was standing on a corner in Winslow, AZ and how much better does it get than that?
If you’re a fan of the song you’ll probably be disappointed in the corner. It evokes nothing of what I thought it would. I saw in my mind’s eye a corner on a dingy street, drenched in sunshine with a hot chick and a flatbed Ford.
What I GOT was a tourist-​saturated draw that showed me no history. It was like a plastic street corner. I just gave it five stars because, hey, the Eagles.
But, I got to say that I was there. That’s enough for me.

Fun store, you can’t get anything more americana than this store, the overly religious t shirts and the gun-​nut stuff here scared us a bit but it was a fun scare. Go here when standing on a corner in winslow arizona.

Yes, I did it. I was standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. And you know what? There is nothing around that corner. This is the only gift shop, but they do play «Take it Easy» over and over again, which adds to the standin’ on a corner experience. There is a snow cone stand (I got all excited!) but it is for sale.
There is not much else to see in Winslow. But if you’re driving through, you really have to stand on the corner. The owners are very nice, and you can get a tshirt, or a bumper sticker, or something silly to prove you did it!

The store is pretty well stocked and prices seemed decent. The biggest issue we have with them is the poor and most unfriendly service we had experienced on our Route 66 trip. The older ladies in there had nothing to say to us and would push by in the isles to do whatever it was they were doing. It wasn’t we were dressed wild or drove into town stirring things up, we were just a couple tourists that took a bunch of pictures at the park, spotted the store and stopped by to pick up a few things wearing just t-​shirts and shorts. We ended up buying nothing because they were so unfriendly and rude. Don’t know what their issue was but I’d recommend other shops before this one. Two stars instead of just one because the place is well stocked. Zero stars for the employees.

It was about 7:30 when we stopped the car to stand on the corner in Winslow Arizona. The gift shop opened almost as soon as the car stopped and the Eagles music also started to play. The gift shop is well stocked with route 66 memorabilia. The prices seemed reasonable and I considered Route 66 suspenders however, try as I might I could not think of where of when I might use them.
Like many of the places we stopped there was a visitor’s book to sign with your name and where you are from. Despite being winter, not the prime tourist season, people from all over the country and world signed the guest book and they all stood on the corner of Winslow AZ.

Well I was standin’ on a corner in Winslow Arizona
lookin’ for a gift to buy
It’s a store my lord
Across from that flatbed Ford
I think I’ll give them a try
Alright, enough of that. We stopped in Winslow for lunch and to grab a few pics at the corner made famous by the Eagles song Take It Easy. There were two souvenir shops on opposite corners. If you’re here, go for this one, the smaller of the two. We found the prices to be a little lower and the owner to be very friendly.
And make sure you return the favor and take pictures for some other tourists. We snapped pics for a family from Phoenix and a young couple from San Francisco in the short time we were there.
