Is there one still in business?
Rubber clams/
Hotels, yes. Restaurants, I believe there is only one or two that still have the name.
But there is one on every street corner in the candyland dream world that some people choose to live in.
Got thrown out of a HoJo’s a long time ago... drunk and disorderly (I was framed... completely innocent, I tell you).
Years ago there was a college textbook on subliminal messages in advertising. Seems the authors of the HoJo clam p[lane ad put all sorts of sexual positions into their little imagery, as the lines between the lumps of clams. Of course the clams were artist derived, so slipping the many variations in to the imagery was easy. I used to travel lots back then and I stayed at HoJos a lot, so I lifted one of the ad cards from the table and gave it a good magnified inspection when I got home. Sure enough the seedy crap was there in the artist's rendering.
