Described
in AAA's 1960 Southeastern Tour Book, the Catalina Motor
Lodge at 2403 Wilkinson Blvd. was an "inviting two-story motor
hotel with large, very attractively decorated and tastefully furnished
rooms."
Its
adjacent Howard Johnson's restaurant was replaced with a new model
built across the street in 1963 or '64 when the Charlotte-Central
Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge and Restaurant complex was completed. |
