Necro's old things

Weathervane.

It is a Howard Johnson's Icon, and a trademark weathervane. Sorry small picture.
It was the largest restaurant chain in the US throughout the 1960s and 1970s, with over
1,000 company owned and franchised outlets.

I loved ho-Jo's. The best lemon sherbert. And, way better than Denny's!

My sister went there about a year ago and told me about the lemon sherbert. Still delicious.

My mother had books and books of Green Stamps.
I was too young to know the whole story, but she had a lot of them.

Got them from the gas station Dino and there was a redemtion store @ 27th Street in Camden .The only thing I remember was that mom got a really nice mesh lawn chair with wooden arm rests.Probably got on the bus to get it because we only had one car and Dad took that to work.
