Johnston,
Rhode Island -- Rt
5 & 6 |
|
Located
in the Providence area, the Johnston Restaurant opened in 1958 along
a busy commercial roadside strip. No exact address was listed in
Howard Johnson's directories, and highway realignments have hidden
the location's former site. By 2004 there was no evidence remaining
of the Johnston Restaurant. |

Greatly
altered, this former Howard Johnson's is hardly recognizable. Only
the general shape of the building suggests that it may have once
been the Howard Johnson's. |

Located
not far from the CVS drugstore chain's headquarters (destroyer of
many former HoJo's), it was not surprising to find no trace of this
"Canton-type" location. Trying to locate its
remains was just another of many wild goose chases! |
