"The site is actually called Standin' on THE Corner Park, an annoying variant on the song lyric "standing on A corner." Typo, copyright dodge, or attempt to outsmart competing corners elsewhere in town?.
In 1999, the town of Winslow put the finishing touches on their "Standin' on the Corner" Park. The downtown corner was designed to include a life-size statue of a relaxed dude-with-guitar and a 2-story Trompe L'oeil mural laying out all the critical lyrics: "a girl" and "a flatbed Ford" reflected in a storefront, along with an eagle perched on one painted window sill.
