Once Ridgewood
was the main route through Daytona, and this HoJo's was an important
link in the chain. |

The Restaurant was a
Howard Johnson's from its inception in about 1958 until its Orange
Roof sign was dismantled in about 1981. After that it is unclear
what it was, but when I was there in 2000 it looked to have last
featured "Home Kookin" perhaps with a Southwest twist
(based on the "cactus" in the window).
Somehow part of the Dairy
Bar's backdrop "The World of 28 Flavors" sign survived
inside the abandoned Restaurant. While I was not able to go inside,
a broken window afforded the opportunity to take a peek at the
ruin.
