Happy belated Thanksgiving guys! I'm especially excited for this post. It's got a lot of neat stuff if I do say so myself (and I do), but in addition to that putting this together brought back some fun memories of going out on an adventure to get these photos. Red Coach Grill/Houlihan's/Joe's Crab Shack/Longhorn, Bala Cynwyd, PA This restaurant opened as a Red Coach Grill, subsidiary of Howard Johnson's (Thanks TenPoundHammer!), alongside the office tower in the early 70's. Houlihan's moved in afterwards, lasting until the late 2000's and barely altering the building. Joe's Crab Shack was here from 2012 to 2016. They made some mild alterations, but the midcentury roofline was completely covered up when Longhorn opened in 2018. Pathmark/Fresh Grocer, Wynnefield, Phila, PA Pathmark opened here in the early 80's, and lasted up until the chain went under in 2015. It was among the stores sold to Wakefern. Most of those went to Shoprite franchises, tho
