Last Ho Jo's closes

Unread post by matt1 »

The last Howard Johnson's restaurant closes in New York state!! Back then when I was with my parents during a trip to Greensburg, Pennsylvania to visit my late aunts & relatives, we stopped at the Ohio Turnpike Service Plaza in the mid 70's & I had a can of Ho Jo Cola which tastes almost like Pepsi!! I also had their root beer, ginger ale & orange drink in cans!! https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/ ... uxbndlbing

The family partook of the Wednesday all-you-can-eat fish fry every week at the HoJo on Woodward in Highland Park. I also liked their fried clams. This was in the '60s.

I think they brought in chef Jacques Pépin to create that delicious batter.

Now I'm hungry! :8)

We stayed at Hojo’s when we visited Lansing on our 4th grade state Capitol trip in the mid 90s. Nothing to write home about.

Do you like yours "bearded?"

Probably a good thing all of them closed. In 2022 it wouldn't take long for some progressive group to claim that its' offensive to women named Jo being called a Ho and start a boycott.

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

We would go to the Maple and Telegraph location. Orange Sherbet with a wood tab to eat it with was a highlight.

Now it's a cellphone/mattress store.

We still have a HoJo motel in Traverse City.
