The Out & About columnist for the Elk Grove (Calif.) Citizen traveled to the Route 66 town of Winslow, Ariz., to take in the sights.
In addition to the usual suspects such as La Posada and Standin’ on the Corner Park, the columnist also checked a couple of more obscure local attractions.
One was the Homolovi Ruins State Park, where a Hopi Indian tribe lived until about 1330 A.D. The other is Winslow Remembrance Garden, which is described here:
This site is a dedication to the tragic events of 9/11. In the center of the garden are 15-foot beams from the World Trade Center. Given to the citizens of Winslow by the city of New York, this is Northern Arizona’s promise never to forget.
