This is an authentic Howard Johnson's restaurant in Wilmington, Delaware. Howard Johnson restaurants went out of business in the late 1970's, but a few profitable ones remained in business under private ownership. This one is maintained just the way it was when it was built, probably in the 1960's.

UPDATE 01/04 : The Howard Johnson's here in DE has been converted to a new restaurant. Many thanks to Rick Pultorak for update. 01-04

Hightstown, New Jersey is home of Mom's Peppermill Restaurant. Mom's is famous for it's mechanical sign. At night, the sign becomes functional as the crank on top of the peppermill turns via an electric motor. As the crank moves, six rows of lights at the bottom of the sign alternately blinks ground pepper. Any doubts? Then go check it out yourself.
