Welcome to HolBrook! I don't know what it is either.

We went to Holbrook and Winslow, AZ. Two more stops, along Route 66 famous for different things.
First, was Holbrook. Now, what Holbrook, is famous for is the famous Wigwam Motel with it's Tee-pee motor court rooms.
We got there at 5:30pm, and all the rooms were booked up for the night. Well, if you do want to stay there, I'd make recommend you book your room in advance. There are many classic cars parked in the parking lot, not that they take up too much room, but your stuff in the room might take up all the free space in the room. One nice couple was nice enough to let us peak inside their room. Tiny! I mean really small. There is a bathroom attached, but again, tiny! So, it may be fun for the novelty of it, but it does not seem like it has all the comforts of a modern hotel. The owner seemed like a nice guy too. We overheard him talking to a couple checking in, and he had some stories to tell.
Also: Dinosaurs:
Finally, there's this song by The Eagles, "Take it Easy." One of the lines is "Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona...." Well, Winslow has taken advantage of this and created a "Standing on the corner" park. There's even a statue of skinny guy and an acoustic guitar, (the song was written by Jackson Browne) and a flat bed Ford. Though, for picture taking purposes, there's a girl (My Lord!) in a flat bed ford painted in reflection in the mural. Otherwise, Winslow as well looks as if it's seen better days. A few souvenir shops, a few gas stations, and Historic 66. Not much to it.
Then we went to Flagstaff.
