It makes people in CO feel like they're on display. To me it feels like HAL is saying "look at the special people with their own dining room!" In the MDR, everyone is eating his/her meal, not watching other people eat. If that were the case, then there would be no complaints about others following the dress code, would there?

Negative; the spoon is for passers by merrily on their way to the MDR to look inside CO in order to see what's on the menu for the few, the proud, the........whose birthday is fast approaching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregonhiker Posted November 7, 2019 #35 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Of course you are right, I should have kept it current by calling it iHop. But still nothing says 60's like Hojo's! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of Howard Johnsons (by Wyndam). They are under the Wyndam umbrella. There are several in Canada and quite a few still in the U.S. from their site - https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/hojo/locations Here is the one in Bangor, Maine. I think most of them now have blue roofs. Now back to our regularly scheduled program 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Howard Johnson lodges do have restaurants attached, but they are not necessarily affiliated with the Wyndham/HoJo brand. I believe what was discussed were the stand-alone HoJo, orange roofed restaurants. They were not spun off with the HoJo lodges. There is only one remaining "original" HoJo, freestanding restaurant extant. Some additional information, for those that may be interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Johnson's#Last_remaining_restaurant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted November 9, 2019 #42 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) My grandmother knew the real Howard Johnson. She was actually in his wedding. (Not as his bride, unfortunately!) I remember as a kid it being a treat to get in the car with my parents and sister and go to HoJo's on a hot Sunday afternoon to get an ice cream. They had a peppermint flavor I loved...
