(from HoJoLand.com)
I small part of me died today...ok maybe i bit dramatic but when I read that the HoJo in times square closed its doors last week, I felt like I grew up a bit. I am sad that i didn't go the last night (i didn't know it was closing) but am happy that in the past few months I have gone twice. It was a old place from another time. It was like that even when i first went there. My family's tradition was to come into the city early on a saturday. My dad and I would deposit my mom at the TKTS line and then we would go to HoJo for some ice cream or food. So it wasn't the nicest thing to do to my mom but usualy we were there early so she would join us soon or we would bring her something. Something about the simplicity of the place still brings a smile to my face. I think a lot of people will be sad to see it go.
