Summary edit

Description

At one time, Flint had two Howard Johnson's motor lodges: one on Miller Rd. (now the site of an Applebee's and a Speedway) and this one in Burton. It stayed HoJo into the 1990s, then became Travelodge, Econo Lodge (and maybe Travelodge again!) and finally Budget Host before it became America's Best Inn by the time I took this picture (2004). The restaurant apparently closed in 1985 and last became something called After Shock.

As of 2011, the back 1/3 of the motel is still standing, seemingly unoccupied; the rest has been torn down. See a shot of the remains here.

Note the reflection of the Mervyns sign from the mall across the street. That store is now a JCPenney.
