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.
The property ceased being a HoJo's in 1989 and was subsequently
converted into a Days
Inn
Note
that Lexington's ultra modern Hospitality Motor Inn (aerial
view)
was located across the Interstate from the HoJo's.

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 circa 1991
arch at the Restaurant's entrance (Please see Canton
and Pittsburgh
for other arch examples). |
