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.

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. 💖

You can change the name and repaint the gate lodge as much as you want but the orange will always end up bleeding through. You can’t kill Howard Johnson. Howard Johnson kills you.

Sneak an apostrophe into the first panel. Decide Veronica is dropping an "I" in the second panel. Some sparkles around the face and then hearts and dazed notations in the next panels.

I want to run, I want to hide I want to break down the walls that hold me inside I want to reach out, and touch the flame Where the streets have no name The De Anza Motor Lodge dates back to 1939 and though the motel buildings were demolished its vintage sign was restored and relit 3 years ago. The location was used in the film Breaking Bad and is now home to luxury apartments.

I have to say, this Furby pattern has really grown on me!
[Image description: two 1999 orange and blue Wavy Stripes Furby Babies are sitting side by side on a chair. The one on the left has diamond earrings and its eyes are closed, while the one on the right has heart-shaped earrings and its eyes are open. End ID.]
