Hasn't that plaza only been open since like '85 anyway? Is that history? I gave up when the movie theater and bowling alley closed down. Plus they could never get around to fixing that crazy giant clock. Time to move on. Yeah, I dunno. Hasn’t that plaza only been open since like ’85 anyway? Is that history?

It just isn't the same as it used to be back in the 80s, when I used to bug my parents to take me on my monthly pilgrimage to Pony Toy-Go-Round in Honda Plaza to geek out over all the toys and models (which even might have been pre-Mitsuwa/Yaohan). The closure of Mitsuwa doesn't surprise me that much - the mall has been dead for years - but I hope Little Tokyo endures.

This could effectively put an end to me making sushi at home, unless there's another place to buy fresh fish in Little Tokyo that I don't know about.
