The State Archives of Florida is the central repository for the archives of Florida State Government. It is mandated by law to collect, preserve, and make available for research the historically significant records of the State, as well as private manuscripts, local government records, photographs, and other materials that complement the official State records. The images included here are part of The Florida Memory Program, which provides Web-based access to primary records that illustrate significant moments in Florida's history. The project also provides educational resources for students of all ages, and makes available collections for historical research. Florida Memory's goal is to make the collections of the State Archives available to the largest possible audience.

Cool. I can't help thinking if someone from 1966 saw what we were writing, they'd think we're crazy. It's just a hot dog joint! But such a cool one.

Napolifd, There's currently a Lum's Restaurant‎ in Ft. Lauderdale, and I'm relatively certain it's the same place. They still cook hot dogs in beer.
