Opened
in about 1954 on what is locally called "the strip," the
Howard Johnson's Restaurant in Henderson was adjacent to the Kentucky
Terrace Motel which featured wall-to-wall carpeting and powder rooms
for its lucky guests!
According
to researcher, Heath Gross, both the Evansville,
Indiana and Henderson Restaurants were managed by John Goodsen
and enjoyed common ownership. Furthermore Mr. Gross fondly recalls
that when he was a child he sampled many of the 28 Flavors of ice
cream that the Henderson HoJo's once served! |
