The
Villanova Restaurant opened in about 1961 and was a classic Nims-type.
The Restaurant remained a HoJo's until the Company's demise in 1985
(like about 150 others it may have lingered on a while longer into
the late 1980s under Marriott's ownership). The Restaurant was eventually
converted into the popular blue roofed Villanova Diner, but was
closed and subsequently demolished by the middle 2000s. |

Another
classic circa 1961 Nim-stype, Pittsburgh's McKnight Road HoJo's
was a popular location for many years. The busy Restaurant
lasted until Howard Johnson's demise in 1985 and may have
been operated a while longer as a HoJo's while owned by Marriott.
Its address is now occupied by Baierl Kia. |

Right:
Conceived of in 1985 by David Hines, Stephanie McLeod, and
Jim Kiser too late to save Howard Johnson's, Cone-struc-tion
was nevertheless a clever idea which successfully boosted
sales in the 20 locations where it was introduced! |

Opened
in about 1966, the stand-alone Restaurant in Scott Township
may have been on an out-parcel of the Greentree Shopping Plaza.
Phil discovered the Plaza's Trapezoid sign in the general
area where the Restaurant might have been sited. |
