Should historic buildings be preserved at all costs, even if it means hindering the development of modern infrastructure and technology in urban areas?
I don't think they should. Especially, if there is negative history behind it.

Retro: Howard Johnson’s Motor Lodge & Restaurant in Florida ❤️🧡
Pensacola 🥤 + Panama City 🌆

I’ve always wanted to go to a HOJO! 🥰 Unfortunately, the last remaining HOJO in Lake George, New York closed in 2022. 💔 HOJO was once America’s largest restaurant chain. 💘
Thanks for the inspiration, @deadmotelsusa! 🪽 Anyone who’s into motels, the motel aesthetic, or even just old buildings/architecture in general should TOTALLY follow your blog. 💖

Same room, 40 years later.
Located directly down the street from the famous South Of The Border in Rowland, North Carolina, this abandoned Family Inn of America was demolished soon after the second photo was taken. In its prime, amenities included a pool, playground, color TV and a restaurant.

Pocono Palace has been sold. The property will close and change hands on May 2nd, 2024.
I’ve spent so much time exploring and researching the dead resorts in this area and in the midst of all those visits, Pocono Palace has been my saving grace. It’s one of the few places I feel is still so authentically old-school-honeymoon-era-Poconos and still has its champagne glass tubs, round beds and heart shaped pools. It has also been one of the places we have continuously stayed at while doing Pocono research for this account.
So seeing it join the long list of dead Pocono hotels breaks my heart. I’d like to think the new owners will continue to run it exactly as it is but I’ve heard that it will be turned into a rehab center or wellness facility. Time will tell.
Enjoy some vintage photos + a few unedited snapshots from our last visit. 💘

Somewhere in America, a Howard Johnson Motor Lodge sits untouched.
Behind a chain link fence, down an overgrown driveway, beyond the plywood covered doors, each room is fully furnished and stuck in time. Many of the original midcentury features remain, including the distinct HOJO light fixtures, headboards and wall dividers.
The A-framed Gate Lodge is also still there. The orange roof and blue spire are slightly visible from the road. While passing, you would have to look up at the perfect moment to even catch a glimpse of it. Most people drive right by, having no idea what’s been abandoned back there for the last 40 years.
