Chapter 530 529. Must Relax (3)

"I'm standing on a corner looking at a beautiful view in the small town of Winslow, Arizona - it's a girl, my God! She's in a convertible Ford, and she's walking by and giving me a look..."

A truck was galloping on Route 66, the car's DV was running hard, and a song was playing from the speakers.

Lu Guan yelled wildly with the singing: "Come here, honey, don't say maybe. I know your sweet love can save me, we may get together or leave, but..."

"But shit, can you listen to the song?" Li Du said helplessly.

This song is very suitable for the occasion. It is a song he found when he searched for this place in Winslow. It is very famous in the United States. It is the famous song of the Eagles, called "Take-It-Easy", "Must Relax".

As a result, not long after he played it, Luguan started singing.

It's fine to sing well, this guy's voice is broken, and after singing hoarsely, Li Du was very worried that the people outside the car would suspect that they were carrying out some tragedy in the car.

He wanted to listen to this song very much, because this song is very important to their destination.

The name Winslow comes from a man who was the former president of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad, Edward Winslow, whose family was here, a large family that later owned the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.

At one time, the town was very prosperous, and until the 1960s, it was the largest township in Arizona, and in its heyday, it was the place where everyone who passed Route 66 would choose to stop.

However, with the opening of the I-40 Interstate Highway, Winslow's once prosperous tourism and other businesses began to decline in the 1980s. Companies closed one after another, residents moved out, and the big town became a small town.

In the days that followed, Winslow gradually declined, reaching the lowest point, with a population of less than 10,000, but there were always Chinese here.

But now the town of Winslow has returned to its former glory. Of course, it has not fully recovered, and there is still a big gap compared to its peak.

Winslow has a very superior environment, not far from the Petrified Forest National Park, so many tourists going to the National Park will resupply here.

Like small towns in other parts of the United States, the streets of Winslow with a long history are full of vicissitudes of life, mainly motels.

Li Du is not short of money now, he doesn't want his work to be too boring, so every time he goes to another place to participate in an auction, he will choose a comfortable accommodation environment so that he can work as happily as possible.

Hans understood what he was thinking, and every time he helped book the most interesting hotel in the area. Of course, this kind of hotel may not be very expensive, mainly because it is interesting.

This time without Hans, the task fell to Luguan, who booked a manor hotel called 'La-Posada'.

This hotel used to be the largest estate in Winslow, but as the town declined, its owner left and was bought by a businessman to build a hotel.

When the manor was rebuilt into a hotel, the original appearance was preserved, but it was restored and repaired continuously in the later period. Therefore, although it has existed for a century, it is still well preserved.

Li Du checked in. The hotel is magnificent, with glazed windows and large chandeliers. The floor is covered with Navajo handmade carpets, which are very valuable and comfortable to walk on.

Lu Guan said: "This hotel is more famous for its three meals a day. They provide breakfast. We can have lunch and dinner here with a little extra money. It has the most delicious food between Flagstaff and Albuquerque."

Li Du was very satisfied with this hotel, and said: "You did a great job, officer, you perfectly took over the banner of Boss Fu."

Lu Guan said proudly: "Of course, it's actually very simple, just find the most expensive hotel in the area."

Li Du rolled his eyes, it was indeed simple enough.

However, it was not easy to get a reservation. The hotel was full. When they checked in, there were people queuing up and waiting to be assigned a room.

According to the habit, after he came to the location of the warehouse, he would not go directly to work, but would take a tour of the place first.

After all, Winslow used to be the largest town in Arizona, and is now one of the largest towns in the Northeast, with many parks and places of interest.

There is a memorial park in town, which was created in 1994 when a non-profit organization launched the project to revive Winslow.

After three years of construction, the park was jointly managed by 14 volunteer groups of designers and architects. When Li Du entered the park, he heard the familiar song "Take-It-Easy".

This song helped Winslow a lot. At the beginning of its birth, it helped Winslow become a well-known town in the United States. Later, the town started a recovery plan and could rely on it to sell its feelings to attract tourists.

Li Du's visit to Winslow is just right. Since 1999, a carnival called Standin'On-The-Corner will be held in the park every October 10-11.

When they came this year, the carnival was about to start, and many fans came from all over the country, which was why the hotel was full before.

Da Ao knew that Li Du was very interested in the human geography of various places.

Therefore, when he arrived at the park, he introduced: "After we participate in the auction, it's best to stay for two days, and don't leave in a hurry."

"After the carnival starts, there will be bands performing live here. Of course, the famous song Take-It-Easy of the Eagles is the main song."

"Think about it, boss, among beer, popcorn, cotton candy, and pizza, how beautiful it is to recall the era of the Eagles together."

Li Du snapped his fingers and said, "Of course, we must stay. This carnival is also the reason why I chose to participate in the auction. Otherwise, how could it attract me with some sporting goods?"

He is not interested in earning less than 100,000 yuan now, and it's not worth wasting time. If he has that opportunity, he might as well be with Sophie.

He came to Winslow this time because of Sophie. The female doctor was very interested in the carnival here, and she wanted to ask for leave on the 10th to come and play.

It is precisely because of this that Li Du is willing to participate in this storage auction.

Leaving the park, there is also a museum here, which tells the history of Winslow's development, and there are many materials related to the Eagles.

Li Du appreciates the museum culture in the United States. Regardless of small towns or big cities, they all pay attention to their own history and are willing to display these histories.

Compared with China, the United States actually has no history, and China has more advantages in this area. Unfortunately, there is no market in China in this area, which makes him very regretful.
