My husband and I stayed at that Howard Johnson on our honeymoon!<br /><br />Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03136389567786715066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-68302910833167161862013-08-07T10:12:10.820-07:002013-08-07T10:12:10.820-07:00I don't know how many different "Good Nei...I don't know how many different "Good Neighbor Hotels" I've stayed at through the years, but I did stay at Howard Johnson's twice in the 1980s. It was definitely one of the nicer hotels in the area.<br /><br />Nowadays I just stay at the Anabella. Since I only use it as a place to sleep it does the job. Nice grounds, clean and close enough for a good healthy walk to and from the Resort.<br /><br />I love your image of the vintage Howard Johnson in Anytown, U.S.A.K.

Maybe HoJo's cost more?<br /><br />It's a wonderful building, we all love it now that the style is back in fashion, but I remember in the '80's, this look was a big negative.<br /><br />There were not many HoJo's near where we lived in Central California, but they were a familiar stop on our out-of-state ventures. That orange roof and odd birdhouse, as well as the plate pattern are very familiar to me. I had forgotten the fried clams till this very minute.<br /><br />Thank you, Dave.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-91321199089778876352013-08-07T09:26:40.582-07:002013-08-07T09:26:40.582-07:00We ate at HJ's many times in Bangor, Maine, wh...We ate at HJ's many times in Bangor, Maine, while living near there in Winterport for 6 years. Loved it, and the state too. Just couldn't put up with the high taxes and heating costs any more. I would go back in a shot if those things would ever change.CoxPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05527049007969448040noreply@blogger.com
