Towson , Maryland -- 1001 York Rd
 
Set to open in 1959, the Towson Restaurant had a commanding view of the local landscape. With its prominent location and well received local standing, it came as a shock in the middle 1990s when FAI announced its closure and the site's sale. A real estate developer quickly demolished the HoJo's and constructed a CVS in its place.
