HoJo's
A nickname for Howard Johnson's, a US hotel and restaurant chain popular in the mid-20th century. When I tell my kids my fond memories of going to HoJo's with my parents on summer vacations, all I get in response are blank stares. I miss HoJo's. They had the best ice cream when I was a kid. In the '70s, summer wasn't complete without a stop or two at HoJo's!
