The former Tugboat Annie's Restaurant was the Sushi Cruise when this photo was taken in 2013. Tugboat Annie's dates back at least to 1969 and is located on Foothill Blvd. West of Mountain Road.

xA delayed grand opening celebration was held for the ship-shaped seafood restaurant in August of 1969. The opening featured a sample of their fish & chips, pins for the kids and barber shop quartets!

xBy 1982 the building had been sold and became The Original Shrimp House Restaurant. It had become the Sushi house by the time we saw it in 2013, and by spring 2015 had become Sushi Maru. Sometime between 1969 and 1982 the address changed from 930 Foothill to 962 Foothill while the building itself stayed put in its original location.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
