1950: 1955 Sleepy Hollow Motel
Who could forget old Rip Van Winkle sound asleep under that tree in front of the Sleepy Hollow Motel on Route 1 north? It fell into bad times and disrepute in the 1980's, but in its heyday it was a first class motel. I also remember the orange roof of the Howard Johnson restaurant that was located further up the road on Route 1 north. "28 flavors," and at one time or another I imbibed in at least 20!
Somehow it got the name "Sleezy Hollow" when we were teenagers.
ReplyDeleteThe NJ Sleepy Hollow Motel was known in the 60's, 70's and onward as a place where people would go to cheat on their wives or husbands as well as a place to take sleazy women or prostitutes to. Not a place that I would ever go to!
