Lamplighter
Rooms were often used as meeting space for civic groups such as
Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. Often Lamplighter Rooms served as overflow
dining areas and were sometimes a touch fancier!

Future
Past
The bright future predicted by the vibrant roadside architecture
of the middle 20th century nearly arrived. For a short time
we believed that it had, for every time we patronized a Howard
Johnson's it felt as if we had entered that future--Under
the Orange Roof!
Right:
Recycled as the Crab Shuttle, the former Howard Johnson's
still played to a place in space! But by the 2010s was La
Bamba featuring authentic food. More recently it became Quam's
Schoolhouse Burgers and Grinders. |
