 Tampa-East, Florida
6804 E Hillsborough Ave

 

By the middle 1970s, Tampa-East lost the Howard Johnson's name. It is amazing to see the postcard views of set amidst an Orange Grove, for the area in which it once was situated is now completely different. By the Bernert's late 1990s photos, the Restaurant had been demolished and the Motor Lodge had become the New Cigar City Motel. As is often the case, the commercial district in which it was located was developed, prospered, and then declined as newer areas of Tampa became populated.
