Miami used to look like that? See old nightclubs, restaurants and stores
South Florida Miami used to look like that? See old nightclubs, restaurants and stores In Miami's past, icons like Lums served beer-steamed hot dogs while shoppers strolled Flagler Street and high-energy clubs packed South Beach. Bayside Marketplace and CocoWalk helped shift the city's social scene, drawing crowds with dining, music, and shopping. Photos show how department stores, classic clubs like the Latin Quarter, and mom-and-pop businesses defined neighborhoods before towers and chain stores moved in. Lums, once a mainstay with its signature hot dogs and bright red roof, brings back memories of simpler lunches and neighborhood gathering spots. Looking back at old clubs, restaurants and retail hubs certainly brings back the old feelings we either remember or heard about.
