Food, Food, and More Food Thread

Well, good from my taste standpoint: remember I like Panda Express over other more legit Chinese restaurants... :hehe:

haven't been there in years...or any musuem in los angeles for that matter....last one was the "new" getty.

Worth checking out, IMO.

And you're hanging around J-town rather frequently anyways, ne? ;)

yeah when i go to the japanese market i usually go to that mitsuwa...there was actually an interesting art exhibit there recently....pottery and such. hmm....that place is quickly transforming due to the gentrification of downtown....there are three brand new residential complexes being build within a 3-7 minute walk of one another...all in little tokyo....

And there's supposed to be a Taiko exhibit there as well, according to the commercials I've seen on KSCI-18...

yeah a rebirth of money and a boot to the homeless who hover around there due to the proximity of skid row. the infusion of cash there will greatly increase the profits of all the businesses there, i believe...it may be the first time we actually see some stores in Yaohan Plaza (now called Mitsuwa Marketplace I think) with some vitality....that place has been dead for years....

It didn't help that the place was off the beaten path from the main drag...

yeah it's on third instead of second or first....it does make a big difference in the exposure and visibility.
