The charm of the roadside diner is entirely missing ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif) despite it being the same building.
(Colorado Blvd. was Route 66, right?)

When I was a small child, we used to eat at Fisher's occasionally. My grandmother had elderly friends who lived in a trailer park (a sort of fancy one) at Kinneloa and Colorado and this was the closest nice restaurant to them so we would go there for lunch when visiting. I also recall that at about 4 years old, I was very impressed by the arch sort of thing over the driveway which I thought was very special. (I was easily impressed at the age of 4) I think that the property where the trailer park had been was later the Fedco. If anyone can find a picture of that area in the early 50's, it would be a great trip down memory lane for me.
As for the newest look for Fisher's, it appears that it may have been a Mexican restaurant before the sushi people got hold of it.
