This eye catching sign still captures attention in Hazleton, PA. 08-01 Howard Johnson's Wilmington, DE Photo and info courtesy Kevin Powers 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 Mom's Peppermill Restaurant Hightstown, NJ Photo courtesy Moon Mullins OX-76 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. Ranch House Restaurant Wilmington, DE Photo courtesy Kevin Powers Check out the sign for the Ranch House restaurant, Concord Pike, Wilmington Delaware. Dutch Haven Restaurant Lancaster, PA Photo courtesy Mark Hackett Check out this shot of the Dutch Haven Restaurant located in Lancaster, PA. Not sure if the windmill itself still works, but the restaurant building itself looks to be in a good shape. 01-01 John Schuster's Steak House Sharon, PA Photo courtesy Mark Hackett If you happen to be near Sharon, Pennsylvania, stop by John Schuster's Steak House. Yes, the sign is immense!

Many thanks to Dave Wagner for update. 12-05 Lucille's Sea Food Lake George, NY Photo by Steve Felder Seafood is no stranger in Lake George, New York. Neither is Lucille's seafood restaurant.
