Winslow Restaurant Gaining More Acclaim

April 24, 2012 By Holly J Wagner

It’s not just the staff that’s bustling at The Turquoise Room at La Posada Hotel. There’s plenty going on behind the scenes that will, down the line, yield more of the delicious treats that diners have come to expect there. For starters, the staff is moving its office to a new area of the restaurant; the old “Spam Room” office will be demolished to make room for a patio dining area (scheduled to open next spring) and adjoining chef’s garden. Turquoise Room fans – and they are legion – know … [Read more...] about Winslow Restaurant Gaining More Acclaim

Valentine Diners – A Slice of History

February 14, 2012 By Holly J Wagner

Nothing captures the romance of Old Route 66’s heyday like its roadside stops – tiny trading posts and hole-in-the-wall diners that fed travelers as they crossed the country from Chicago to Los Angeles – and nothing embodies that romance more than a Valentine Diner. The tiny prefab diners that sprang up across the West sporting distinctive red-and-white-striped paint jobs after WWII are fast falling into disrepair and disappearing. Valentine Diners were born in Wichita, Kan., but after the … [Read more...] about Valentine Diners – A Slice of History

Winslow’s Evolving Art Scene

January 2, 2012 By Holly J Wagner

Route 66 travelers have long admired the kitschy murals scattered around Winslow, but few know about the developing fine arts scene simmering underneath. The owners of La Posada hotel, known for its painstaking restoration and co-owner Tina Mion’s huge, avant garde canvases inside, are working on renovations that will eventually turn the old train depot into an art museum. Hotel co-owners Allen Affeldt and Tina Mion and Snowdrift art gallery owners Dan and Ann-Mary Lutzick and El Gran … [Read more...] about Winslow’s Evolving Art Scene

Winslow’s Route 66 Plaza Moving Forward

December 6, 2011 By Holly J Wagner

Plans for a showplace park in Winslow celebrating the history and car culture of Old Route 66 are a step closer to reality, but the city still has miles to go before the tourist destination becomes a reality. Visitors from all over the world already flock to tiny Standin’ On the Corner Park to stand on the corner and take photos next to a life-size bronze guitar player named “Easy” or the red flatbed Ford parked on the street and reflected in the slightly suggestive John Pugh mural that faces … [Read more...] about Winslow’s Route 66 Plaza Moving Forward

New Prison Could Benefit Regional Economy

October 27, 2011 By Holly J Wagner

A renewed proposal to add a 1,000-bed private prison adjacent to the existing state prison facility in Winslow is getting community support at a time when residents of some other cities are coming out against similar proposals. While some people oppose building on the city’s prison economy, many more in the jobs-starved community say that ship has sailed and the facility would bring new life to the area. Executives at LaSalle Corrections promise the facility would create 215 new permanent … [Read more...] about New Prison Could Benefit Regional Economy

Market Enduring for Traditional Rugs

January 6, 2011 By Holly J Wagner

The RB Burnham Trading Post exists in two worlds. There’s its home in Sanders on the Navajo reservation. Then there’s the outside world, the one that passes through in a trickle of tourists, the one that five generations of Burnhams have greeted, and more recently, traveled out to meet. The trading post started in Dinnebito, but moved to Sanders in the early 1970s. Later, the reservation expanded around the trading post so today, it is surrounded by reservation land. The day-to-day … [Read more...] about Market Enduring for Traditional Rugs

Foreclosure Intervention Options for Troubled Borrowers

October 17, 2010 By Holly J Wagner

When President Barack Obama announced help for struggling homeowners in April 2009, millions of homeowners facing foreclosure or payment resets breathed a collective sigh of relief. What most of them didn’t expect was how much time, effort and paperwork would be involved, and how difficult it would be to qualify for many government assistance programs. That’s where foreclosure intervention counselors come in. They help troubled borrowers understand their options, assemble their documents and … [Read more...] about Foreclosure Intervention Options for Troubled Borrowers

Wind Sidelining Truckers in Northern Arizona

July 18, 2010 By Holly J Wagner

Ah, the weather. Everybody talks about it, but nobody ever does anything about it. That old joke has a bitter edge for truckers crossing I-40 during Northern Arizona’s windy season. Though the area has always been prone to spring and fall winds, it is only over the last two years that authorities have had to close I-40 in the interest of public safety because of wind and blowing, choking dust. In 2008, wind and dust-related closures were confined to I-10. But from March to June 2009, … [Read more...] about Wind Sidelining Truckers in Northern Arizona
