When I was a kid, our family ate at a restaurant called Lums.

They served good hot dogs and ice cream floats.

Hometown drive ins provide a lot of good memories.

I remember Lum's near the LAX airport. I used to eat there all the time as a kid.

When I was a kid my parents took me to Hamburger Junction, where you sat at a counter and a little train would deliver your hamburger. Thrilling for a six year old.

I ate at that place too. I seem to remember that they also served tongue. Gross.

We had a Lums in New Bedford, MA when I was a child. I vaguely remember cardboard trains that you would punch out of meal containers. Does anyone else remember this?

I bit down onto a serrated metal washer in a sandwich at Lum's in Columbus, OH, in the mid-70s. Last visit to any Lum's.

We used to go to them when we visited our cousins in Miami. We called it Slums, but we loved it.

Was this after he broke up with Abner?

Loved Lums. After a night out it was a nice way to end a really drunk evening. Low key. Actually miss it though honestly I dont know if I could eat the food anymore.

Who knew? Miami chain, later purchased Caesars Palace?! A Swiss business group ruined it.
