Photographs November 2000
 
Having had the rest of the world pass it by, the old Howard Johnson's no longer looked modern, rather it was tired, well-worn, and out-of-date.

Even as the rest of the Fitfh Avenue Pavilion was being dismantled and demolished, Scott found the HoJo's open and a fresh coat of paint livened the fenced off "Howard Johnson Entrance" sign.
 
 
Disturbing to Howard Johnson's preservationists, the Asbury Park Restaurant was using its classic original 1963 tables and chairs outside on the Boardwalk. The furniture was NEVER designed to be outdoors--much less left outside in the Atlantic Ocean salt mist. No doubt the 40+ year old fixtures and furnishings have been ruined.
