Photo 2-KMO-26 from 1989

Comments

Again, wishing I could read the name of this restaurant, the location is 1904 West Morton Avenue, U.S. 67, Illinois Route 104, Jacksonville, Illinois. View is looking north.

This was the Howard Johnson Restaurant

Originally Howard Johnson, later BJ’s Cafe. Damaged by fire and eventually razed.

BJ's apparently still had some HoJo's memorabilia up until it was destroyed
