HoJo's
No More ...
Stripped of its larger-than-life "HOWARD JOHNSON" letters
and name in May of 2005, the Greensboro-Coliseum Motor Lodge continued
serving the motoring public until March 21, 2006 as the High Rise
Hotel. |

Purchased
in 2005 by Bhupen Patel for only $2.8 million, he will have reportedly
spent an estimated $10 million in the process of remaking the
former HoJo's into a Doubletree Hotel. The Hooters that had operated
a busy unit in the former HJ Restaurant was relocated, and its
space will be refurbished into a low volume upscale restaurant
that will primarily serve hotel guests. Even as the complex remains,
it will have become only a bland version of its former self and
joins the long list of Landmarks lost... |
