The other car hop restaurant was located on the southeast corner of Lakewood Blvd, and Candlewood, next to Lakewood Center. It was called Hody's. Hody's (pronounced with a long "o" sound), was where most of the younger crowd would hang-out.

I have been wracking my brain trying to remember the name of a hamburger drive-in joint on South St just west of Lakewood Blvd. It was the traditional drive-ion with car-hops who brought your order to the car and put on a tray on your window ledge. They had great fish & chips and lime freezes. I just can't remember the name of the place. It might have been a man's name. Anybody have an answer to this? Thanks!

(This was in the late 50's, early 60's) Wasn't there an annual parade In Lakewood? I recall marching in that parade. Being part Asian, I always thought of Lakewood as a modern suburb; cookie cutter houses with pools, where only white people lived. I was in the Maryknoll All Girls Drum and Bugle Corps.
