It looks like a Howard Johnson but it’s not and it never was. The Travelers Rest Motel of Everett, Pennsylvania dates back to the late 1940s but this building was built in the 60s. Today, it operates as Renewing Hope Ministries, a Christian residential treatment program.

Postcards from Snagglepuss

Some notes heading into summertime

OVER LUNCH AT SOME OLD-SCHOOL DINER IN BREEZEWOOD, PENNSYLVANIA: In taking our leave of Ocean City, and on accepting an invite from a certain boon companion of Touché Turtle by name of Dum-Dum to join him and Bristlehound for some houseboating on the Mississippi River, yours truly, along with Huckleberry Hound, as well as Touché "himself," took our leave of Ocean City by way of US 50 unto Baltimore by way of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and thence on I-70 into this rather crazy crossroads of the Lincoln Highway (as in US 30 in these parts) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

In fact, it's on the former that our party of three will be heading out to the Mississippi River for the most part--eventually to come into US 20 through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, thereby offering a direct (if somewhat out-of-the-way) routing towards Dubuque, Iowa and the Mississippi, whence, it turns out, Dum-Dum is calling us from.

"So how is my devoted Touché Turtle?" asked Dum-Dum in a rather effervescent style, to which the heroic-minded turtle responded, "My apologies if you're catching our company over lunch ... but at any rate, we left Ocean City this morning on our way to the river."

"And did I hear correctly," Dum-Dum remarked, "that those Goofy Guards are pulling off a little fencing exercise in Ocean City?"

"On the Boardwalk there, yes." [Pause] "And for only $20 a pop."

"I can hardly believe it!" was all Dum-Dum could respond.

"Nonetheless," responded I, "we can't wait to be on the river with you and Bristlehound."

"And I hope you can stand small-town tavern fish fry on Friday evenings!" was how Dum-Dum chimed in. This even as we were having chicken-and-stuffing casserole in the Pennsylvania Dutch manner, and rather generous on the portions besides, no skimping!

And even then, Huck was still wondering as to the next ideal Character Convocation, timed to coincide with the July 4th holiday no doubt ... prompting him to suggest no less than Clear Lake, Iowa and their 4th of July celebrations, one of the Midwest's largest such for a small community.

"You still remember that time at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake where I crossed paths with the Cattanooga Cats, and we had quite the performance--"

To which Huck remarked, "I assume they're still talking about especially that tribute you and the Cats did there to Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper."

"Out of sympathy for the Surf being their last performance before that tragic plane crash on February 3, 1959."

"How right you are, Snag ... and I guess it'll be interesting to imagine the Cats as much as The Banana Splits there in Clear Lake as well."

"Not to mention our whole funtastic pantheon."

"At any rate," Huck remarked over dessert, "Clear Lake for the weekend of the 4th 'tis."

"Oh, and let's not forget Peter Potamus' divers; they'll especially find Clear Lake itself worth some diving."

"I never thought of that, Snag."

"Or, as those Cattanooga Cats sang, 'I never knew the way you'd feel.'"

=============

Meanwhile, in deference to the Memorial Day break, next Monday (the 27th) will see no Postcard in this space ... hence, returning on Wednesday the 29th. And at any rate, enjoy what the weekend brings forth.

My story about this photo #breakingthesilence many Americans believe they’ve been there. But I actually have. Many times. It’s located between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh PA. There was something about PA refusing to join the national interstate system for a while (?) that begat this particular little town. But that’s not the point. The point is my family used to stop here a few times a year and there was one particular like truck stop indoor plaza hybrid place that had a huge rack of pamphlets and brochures (not even on glossy paper! the horror) and my favorite brochure I ever got there was one aimed at teen girls who were bullied called “how to be your own best friend” and it basically said to spend time with yourself and do pedicures and bubble baths and write in your diary if you had no friends. I think I’ve eaten mashed potatoes in this town. The end

#also the breezewood pic is unfair bc if you were to zoom out you’d see beautiful green upper appalachia. the end

Postcards from Snagglepuss

How unlikely a Crossroads of the World can it get exactly?

BREEZEWOOD, PA: Otherwise known as Exit 161 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike ... and a rather bizarre sort of junction for I-76 and I-70, the latter being the freeway for Baltimore and, via I-270, Washington, DC, with connexions for the South, Florida even--all a credit to policies which, in the early 1970's, prevented a direct sort of interconnect from the Pennsylvania Turnpike to I-70, requiring a rather convoluted approach to get vis-a-vis I-70 and the Turnpike, involving no less than three sets of stoplights(!!!) on the I-70 approach in Breezewood. "City of Motels," even!!

But still, gentle Hanna-Barberian, Breezewood is a rather modest hamlet whose importance seems rather magnified by circumstances such as just explained. And arriving in Breezewood via PA 287, US 220/I-99, US 22, US 522 and US 30, a/k/a the Lincoln Highway, we managed to find ourselves in this the Keystone of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

And find ourselves we did at a decent-looking truck stop, managing to avoid the neurotic excesses of truck drivers having to take statutory rest stops after so long on the highway ... and managing to avail ourselves of some worthwhile home cooking which, for some motorhomers like us, could certainly be worth it. Especially when it gets to the point where foil-roasted potato wedges can only go so far.

And boy, could Magilla pack down his lunch, and then some, even with an "all you can eat" soup and salad bar in the bargain!

Not to be outdone, though, was a video call with no less than The Banana Splits, wondering essentially what was happening with us in spite of the Allegheny Mountains interfering with cell phone signals; Fleegle, for his part, couldn't help but be stunned--STUNNED, I tell you!!--by our taking the call from a truck stop in Breezewood, and our motely crew taking turns sharing the converse as much as the meals we were having.

Bingo, at one point, couldn't help but take especial interest in Magilla; this going back to when the latter had a short-lived TV ad campaign peddling sasparilla which got too out of control. And was Bingo surprised to hear where Magilla was joining us on the road for awhile, with a new group of happy campers joining us before long.

And at any rate, Huckleberry Hound and I explained the fact that, for the next stage, Wally and Squiddly would be staying on ... with Yogi, Boo-Boo, and Magilla to be replaced by Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy and Hokey Wolf and Ding-a-Ling at the Inevitable Undisclosed Location.

With the next Big Experience being beside some mountain lake in the general vicinity of Estes Park, Colorado, some back country camping, snorkelling even ... so stay tuned, fellow Hanna-Barberians, for what develops! (Oh, and did I mention the next Character Convocation at Pie Day this August in Braham, Minnesota, followed by the Minnesota State Fair even?!)

Breezewood, PA was once the motel capital of the state due to a quirk of the Interstate Highway System which dumped drivers right into town. These are just some of the remnants of those motels.

Despite appearances, that yellow one was never a Howard Johnson's. It was the Traveler's Rest Motel, whose office was the A-frame building also pictured. There once was a real Howard Johnson's in Breezewood, but it is long gone and a Holiday Inn Express is on the site today.

Also pictured is the bright red Wildwood Motel & adjoining restaurant, the Wildwood Inn, as well as the Panorama Motel's damaged sign & former rooms up on the hill behind it. Notably not pictured is the famous Penn Aire Motel, demolished before I got to it. The other Motel sign is a bonus from nearby Bedford, PA. It got turned into apartments & businesses, but the original hand-painted sign remains. You can read "Roll Arena", the original name of the motel's rollerskating rink, which is still in business today as the Moon Glo II Skating Rink. At the bottom of the sign you can read "Air Conditioned".
