Phil Edwards stopped here in 2003 only to discover that most of the former Restaurant and Motor Lodge had been demolished. In the Restaurant's place stood a new building which housed a Quaker Steak & Lube, but continued to use the Howard Johnson's sign frame. Only two of the Motor Lodge's guest buildings survived. Phil said that, "one is a 2-story, heavily altered one with a huge highway-sign framework on the roof to support tiny 'Motel 6' lettering (obviously formerly supporting the 'Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge' letters)." He added that "the second is an ancient single-story building which appears never to have been changed at all..."
