 Elizabethtown, Kentucky
I-65 & U.S. 62

 

 Open in late 1974 or early 1975, Elizabethtown was sited to capture motorists on either I-65 headed north or south, or also those headed east or west on Kentucky's Bluegrass Parkway. When Phil found it on his tour of Kentucky in 2003, the Mansard Restaurant was serving as a Stuckey's and the Motor Lodge was a Quality Inn.
 
 
 

 HoJo's signs are often still used after the properties have been converted. This one at Elizabethtown is completely original, but has new faces.
