The
Bay City Motor Lodge and Restaurant complex is believed to have
opened in April of 1965, but the Motor Lodge had a relatively short
life of only ten years under its Orange Roof. However the complex's
Restaurant reportedly remained a Howard Johnson's location into
the 1990s (more about the Restaurant on page
4). |
