    I loved seeing the Howard Johnson's in this. I really miss that place.

    RuPaul looked fabulous, as usual (even in man dress).

    @Marty - That's just what I thought when I saw the HoJo neon! I still mourn its loss every time I'm unlucky enough to be in the sanitized Times Square. And this video - God, I miss those days, when people came here to be crazy creative instead of crazy drunk.

    @Lisa: Once they locked the doors to HOJO I said NOMO to Times Square, unless I absolutely have to go through there. It's so embarrassing there now.

    @Marty - Yup. Makes my blood pressure skyrocket whenever I'm in the vicinity. (I also sigh whenever I think of the TS branch of Beefsteak Charlie's - with unlimited salad bar - that my late hubby and I used to go to in the 1980s. To us it was the height of sophistication and glamorous dining!)

    RuPaul used to be called "Star Booty" back then.
