 Lexington-North, Kentucky
1987 N. Broadway

 

 The North Howard Johnson's was the newer of the two built in the Lexington area. It opened in the Spring of 1966 strategically located along U.S. 27 where it intersected the newly completed I-75 & 64.

In 1997 when I first began to explore the Internet, North was still listed as a Howard Johnson's even though it had already ceased to be one. At any rate, the Restaurant was the LAST one in the Bluegrass State. Moreover its owners, the Entwistles, were dedicated to the concept nearly to its demise as evidenced with their adoption of FAI's 1991 arch at the Restaurant's entrance.
