The Rum Keg Lounge transformed into Sweet Daddy's Lounge -- burn,
baby burn Inferno -- a grooving, groovy 1970s
kinda place!

Room in the background along with a wall sign advertising the
Rum Keg Lounge. Note that even as the brochure touted the Restaurant
as the Lamplighter Restaurant, it was in fact a standard Howard
Johnson's. |

The
New Orleans-East Motor Lodge retained its Howard Johnson name
until 1994. Having suffered serious neglect, the property
eventually became a Scottish Inn and then a Knights Inn. During
the period of brand swapping, part of the Lodge became a separate
and non-branded motel. |

By
the end of the 20th century, much of Orleans Parish had
begun to exhibit the symptoms of a place in decline. A change
in demographics brought about by a series of events led
to the loss of many businesses and affluent citizens, and
the eastern section of New Orleans was especially affected.
As the tax base shrunk, infrastructure deteriorated, and
criminal activity increased resulting in declining investment
rates by the business sector. Thus the New Orleans-East
HoJo's lost its way and crumbled in plain view of motorists
traveling on Interstate 10.
A
brief revitalization effort was made for the formerly Fabulous
New Orleans East Howard Johnson's in the early 2000s
which resulted in the restaurant's reopening as a Subway.
