Since
Howard Johnson's Restaurants were so popular, they were often imitated
in an attempt to lure unsuspecting motorists off of the road. Called
Andrew Johnson's Bar-Be-Que, this restaurant was NEVER a Howard
Johnson's. Nonetheless it featured a Nims-type building with an
Orange Roof, a Dairy Counter, and a Trapezoid sign that used HoJo's
stylized art deco lettering and "Restaurant' in script! Even
the cupola looked remarkably like one that would have been found
on circa 1950s Howard Johnson's--just the top was different. |

Built in the early 1950s, this stand-alone location existed for
nearly 20 years. After the Knoxville-West Motor Lodge and Restaurant
complex opened, it managed to coexist at its nearby location for
only a couple of years. Finally it was demolished, and an Exxon/convenience
store came to occupy its former site. |

No
exact street address was ever listed for this circa 1950s Nashville
area stand-alone Restaurant so tracking it down proved difficult.
Phil Edwards discovered the Coin Laundry Express which was located
in an area where the HoJo's may have been. The Laundry Express building
shares many similarities with a typical Nims-type building, but
looks to have suffered from several modifications over the years. |
