The Rest. used to be a place for coffee, cake and pie late
at night. You used to see Senior Citizens reliving their dating years,
and even younger couples bringing their kids in for icecream served in
a fancy dish. The rest. was always quiet, never any noise like you have
at these chain restaurants today. HO JO's served reg. food, similar to
Denny's, but it was famous for their desserts. Each hotel used to have
it's own rest., but quite a few years ago, the rest. part was discontinued.
Reason, - hotels needed the bigger chain rests. to bring in the business
to the hotel. When the last Ho Jo rest. closed here, part of me closed
with it.
