swtjemz musing that all three of the Japantowns/Little Tokyos in the USA are, in fact, located in California (which is really not that surprising when you think about immigration patterns... Asian immigrants have always historically entered the country from this side, as opposed to European immigrants who of course tend to enter from the East coast.), I went to BookOff's site to see where their stores in the USA are located. One in Hawaii (of course), one in New York (been there once), and... the other three in Southern California.
Wait... there are THREE in Southern California??
The one in Costa Mesa is quite close to me, the one in Gardena I hit once in a while... but there's also one in Torrance on PCH that I didn't know about! *a gleam enters K-chan's eye* And, as opposed to the other two which are listed as "small sized," the BookOff site lists it as "medium sized".... Not today, not tonight, but soon, I shall contrive to end up there.... O:)
