Hollywood,

Hollywood
& Vine |

At
the corner of Hollywood and Vine, the Howard Johnson Company converted
an existing building and opened their Restaurant in late 1970 or
early 1971, which remained operating until the Company was broken
apart by the Marriotts in the middle 1980s.
Company
goes Hollywood ...
Film crews don't have to go on location to shoot scenes at
Howard Johnson's anymore. HJ's site of many background shots for
Hollywood, now has a site in Hollywood. We opened an elegant new
restaurant at the corner of Hollywood and Vine, one of the world's
most famous intersections. The corner is noted as a spot to see

meeting place in this capital of the motion picture and TV industry.
The restaurant, company-operated, is our 31st in California and
our 36th in the Los Angeles division. |

Once
considered a sweet spot for a HoJo's, the tired building which
had housed the example of modern progressive perfectionism in
the field of hospitality came to be occupied in the 2000s by a
number of establishments including a body piercing/tattoo parlor--just
another sign of our devolution into dystopia ... |
