If you closely examine the postcard on the first
page you will notice that the Simple Simon and the Pieman is
not only different in Nate's pictures, but it was also moved
closer to the restaurant's entryway. It is likely that when the
Motor Lodge was converted (in the 1990s?) that the restaurant's
owners painted and also moved the logo.
You might have also noticed the faded brown-painted
"fins" on the cupola as well as the brown trim on the
restaurant itself. Brown and other "earth tones" were
added to Howard Johnson's buildings after 1976 as a belated gesture
to the environmental movement of the earlier 1970s.
