The It was known as“The World Famous Spot,” though
the sign hanging outside the door at 22 North Lumina
from 1955 to 1973 read simply,“The Spot.” Like
everything else about this bar and restaurant, its elevation
to “World Famous” status is recorded, not in some
dusty archive found in the North Carolina Room of
Wilmington’s downtown library, or within the Wrightsville
Beach Museum, but in the hearts, minds and voices of the
people who stepped through its doors and remember it well.
