 Postcard ca. 1960's

  Henderson, Kentucky
U.S. Route 41

 

 Opened in late 1953 or early 1954 on what is called "the strip," the HoJo's in Henderson was adjacent to the Kentucky Terrace Motel which featured wall-to-wall carpeting and powder rooms for its lucky guests!

Heath Gross, who took all of the current day shots of this former HJ shown here, fondly recalls when he was a child partaking in the pleasures of some of the 28 Flavors that this location once served. He reports that today nothing at the site shown in the vintage postcard is the same except that the old Howard Johnson's building still stands!
