Located on the way to Brown County State Park, a mecca for campers and landscape artists alike, the Columbus Restaurant celebrated its grand opening on June 23, 1966.

The classic mid 1960s Nims-type Howard Johnson's Restaurant remained remarkably intact serving diner fare as Riviera Family Restaurant as recently as the middle 2000s. However by the end of the first decade of the 21st century the old HoJo's had become Dimitris Restaurant and rendered unrecognizable save for the building's general shape. Alas, even the larger-than-life Trapezoid street sign was removed.
