It was also the site for one of the Harvey Houses, which is where the Harvey Girls worked in the Westward movement. Read up on the Harvey Girls before going as it is real interesting and I've since heard there's a museum type place there to see.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-30125692896001171992017-02-21T08:30:08.953-06:002017-02-21T08:30:08.953-06:00Fantastic post - thanks for coming past my place e...Fantastic post - thanks for coming past my place earlier to entice me over here. <br />I doubt if I'll ever get to Winslow so it's been really great getting a glimpse of it through your eyes. The memorial tiles are so moving. <br />I loved the Eagles during that period and sang Take It Easy at many's a party although I never realised that Jackson Browne co-wrote it. <br />I'll be back :) Filhttp://www.fil-campbell.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-21689445118420175252017-02-21T08:18:35.488-06:002017-02-21T08:18:35.488-06:00I was singing that part of the song, before I READ...I was singing that part of the song, before I READ that I'd be singing it, and yes I'm from that era!

It's an old railroad hotel. The train would pull up, passengers would disembark, spend a lovely night in a fabulous hotel and the reboard the train in the morning. The restaurant is fabulous, the art amazing, the rooms beautifully restored and the architecture is amazing.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-73845496971318426862017-02-18T10:21:54.384-06:002017-02-18T10:21:54.384-06:00Loved your post!

My daughter tried for years to have a baby, then lost it. They gave up and then a miracle....my little grandson was born 3 mos. ago. To say we are overjoyed is an understatement. I have been on that corner many, many years ago when that song first came out. I was a newlywed and we left our home in New England and all the people we knew to make a new start in Tucson, Arizona. We took route 66 the last part of the journey. The commemorative bricks are really touching. So nice to see this place once again.
