"Standin' On A Corner In Winslow Arizona."

(oregonlive.com) The corner immortalized in the Eagles song is listed on the site Hidden Landmarks, a kind of What's-Where of popular culture complete with directions.

Hidden Landmarks is based on a book called James Dean Died Here: The Locations of America's Pop Culture Landmarks (Santa Monica Press) by Chris Epting and is sponsored by the Hampton Inns.

By far, the most fascinating place from the site is The Crossroads, where Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil, the intersection of Highways 61 and 49 in Clarksdale Mississippi.

By far, the closest exciting place from the site is the current location of Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose. It is in
McMinnville Oregon.
