The
second Charleston area Motor Lodge and Restaurant complex,
the North or Airport location, opened in the spring of 1977.
While it wore the Motor Lodge moniker, it was a modern high
rise complex more like the highway-type lodging facilities
that came to dominate Interstate interchanges of the mid to
late 1990s. Perhaps its forward design helped to explain its
longevity as a Howard Johnson, for by May of 2006 it was still
listed on hojo.com. |
