1973 From The Wolfson Archives

1973 - the first Lum's on W. 49th Street (Palm Springs Mile) in Hialeah

681 W. 49th Street (Palm Springs Mile), Hialeah, Florida


Thank you to Ken Wilde from the MiamiSprings Memories Facebook group for posting an old WTVJ video, now part of the Wolfson Archives, of this Lum's receiving a "Very Good" on their state health department inspection. This Lum's opened in the late 1950's as I recall and it was on the east end of the U-Tot-Em strip shopping center. Patrons would park on the vacant lot to the east of the restaurant when the parking lot filled up until they added a store or two to the end and a Goodyear Tire Store opened to the east of the strip center in the late 1960's. I freeze-framed the video to capture the above image.

Lum's built a much larger restaurant on the south of W. 49th Street, west of Palm Springs Mile around the 1300-1400 block, in the late 1960's/early 1970's. I ate there a few times in the early 70's and it lacked the ambience of the older smaller restaurant in the above image. My dad and I were fairly frequent visitors to the old Lum's starting when it opened because I loved the hot dogs steamed in beer, burgers and other items.
