For Hojopalooza
2004, I had decided to stay a night at the old place. But I should
have known better! Having paid cash for my room, I quickly entered
it and snapped these pictures. Unfortunately I soon had a visitor
pounding on my door. He was "Pimp Daddy," and a long
term resident of the former HoJo's. Since I did not answer his
door pounding, he retired to his room to phone me. My bad--I
answered the phone. He took care of all of his homies, and he
could fix me up with whatever I needed or wanted. His assistant
Lucrecia would handle the details. |

Fortunately it was still
daylight and as I mentally bounced off of my room's walls, I
planned my hasty departure. Should I leap from the balcony or
simply walk through the door?
Needless to say I didn't
leap or stay, but went through the door! What a shame what became
of Dayton's Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge and Restaurant.
