Charlotte-Central,
North Carolina
--
2400 Wilkinson
Blvd

Originally
scheduled to open in the fall of 1963 it was still "under construction"
in 1964. The complex replaced an earlier stand-alone circa 1951
Restaurant that had been built across the street at 2401
Wilkinson Boulevard adjacent to the Catalina Motor Lodge. That
original location was likely torn down soon after the new Restaurant
and Motor Lodge were open.
Charlotte-Central
ceased operating as a Howard Johnson's in 1989. The 114 unit Motor
Lodge included two 3-story guest wings. One of the buildings incorporated
covered parking on the ground level with guest rooms on the top
two floors.
