It is time we featured Winona, Arizona, along Route 66, with its beautiful view of the San Francisco Peaks. Here is a "then, later, & now" of the Winona Trading Post and Texaco service station along old Route 66 in Winona, with two postcards showing its changes over time and a Google 'now' image. Winona was never really a town, but it gained a lot of notoriety for rhyming with Arizona in the famous song, "Route 66," originally sung by Nat King Cole, with words & lyrics by Bobby Troup. That verse:
Now you go through Saint Looey
Joplin, Missouri,
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty.
You see Amarillo,
Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Don't forget Winona,
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
