When we moved to Prince William County in 1982 the first restaurant you encountered after you crossed the Occoquan River over the US1 bridge was Lums.
That relic of the 1970's operated well into the late 90's. Those of you who ever patronized a Lums will recall its' most notable decor was the faux Tiffany lamp hanging over each booth. This particular one had not been remodelled since the day it opened its' doors. It was one of the last to "pass on".
With development comes change and, in this case, it was for the better. We now have many restaurants serving food from every culture and continent.
We have Thai, Chinese, Italian, steak houses, sports restaurants, Portugese, Mexican, El Salvadoran - you name it - there is at least one in Prince William County.
Nowadays, we usually have grits at home as it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a "Southern Style Restaurant" in the area.
CONTACT ME for assistance with PRINCE WILLIAM VA REAL ESTATE. We may not be able to visit Lums to see the phony lamps, but I will at least drive you by the vacant lot where it used to serve grits.
