My father's name was Howard Johnson, not THE Howard Johnson but never the less there was always the potential for humor wherever we went.
He had a small business and was a member of a local group of small businessmen, The Sertoma Club I think was the name. Anyway they always met at a Chinese Restaurant owned by one of the members, it was only a few blocks from the nearest Howard Johnson's but on the Marquee out front the Chinese Restaurant Owner would change it to read "Howard Johnson eats here" on meeting days.
