Additional commentary.
1. Standin' on the Corner Park.
"Take It Easy", was a song written by Glenn Frey and his neighbor and fellow country-folk rocker Jackson Browne. Browne had written the majority of the song, up until the line "I'm standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see", where he was then stalled. Frey added the next line,("Its a girl my lord, in a flatbed Ford,slowin' down to take a look at me.") and Browne continued to finish the rest of the song. The song reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and propelled the Eagles to stardom.[excerpt from Wikipedia] (Picture 2 shows an Eagle on the window sill, in tribute and a girl in a flatbed Ford, reflection in left window)
