          Built 
              in 1969, the Hollywood Beach location was almost directly on the 
              Atlantic Ocean -- only the concrete "boardwalk" separated 
              it from the beach. While it was a blocky almost unattractive high-rise, 
              it featured standard Howard Johnson's guest rooms and a classic 
              "T" style Restaurant facing North Ocean Drive. There was 
              never a Gate Lodge or separate lobby.  |

                      ahead, these photos show the Restaurant after it had been 
                      closed and the Motor Lodge in limbo while it operated as 
                      the Hollywood Beach Inn.
