Diamond
Bar, California --
Pomona Fwy @ Old Brea Canyon Rd |

Another
of Howard Johnson's large Mansard-type Restaurants, Diamond
Bar was only open from about 1974 to 1977. The Burger King
seen above is believed to occupy the former HJ's building
or site. |

Among
the innovative in-mall HoJo's locations, Glendale opened the first
quarter of 1974 in Eagle Rock Plaza. Developed in the era before
fast-food courts, malls often featured full-service restaurants,
and at least in California there were a handful of HoJo's in malls.
Unfortunately Eagle Rock was never a highly successful mall. Nonetheless
the Howard Johnson's remained viable until 1984. Meanwhile as the
mall declined it became a Westfield property--then in the latter
2000s it was sold to Centro Watt which has facilitated its transformation
into what some have dubbed a mini-Manila where most of the restaurants
and stores cater to the region's Filipino population. |

461 La
Puenta Mall |

Another
of Howard Johnson's in-mall Restaurants, the Industry Restaurant
was located in La Puenta Mall. The profitable location lasted
from 1974 until the Company's demise at the hands of the Mariotts
in 1985.
Also
called Puenta
Hills Mall ,
changing demographics and economics resulted in a reshuffling
of its retail mix during the 1990s, but during HoJo's last
year in the mall, the mall itself served as the Twin Pines/Lone
Pine Mall in Back
to the Future! |

Lasting
past the break up of Howard Johnson's and into the FAI era, Northridge
was a HoJo's from 1968 until roughly 1989. Since the Restaurant
opened in 1968 it was most likely a Nims, and no apparent evidence
exists at its former site that the building was recycled. |
