    Franklin Square Fountain.
    Eli Y.

    This is a quaint little square that offers restaurants, shopping, bars and more. Parking is never an issue in Franklin Square. There is a very large lot where you can always find a place to park. The square is a great place to spend any time of day. MORNING: Every Saturday morning there is a great farmers market with live music that is right next to the square. There is always great food to buy and excellent fresh produce. They close down the whole block for this weekly event so it is definitely worth going to. AFTERNOON: This is a great place to go for lunch. The square offers Japanese (Hatch0) , Thai (Jasmine) and Italian food (Mio Vicino). There is also a little boutique (IBISS) that you can go shopping at when you are done with your delicious meal. It's also a great place to go run errands. You can go to the post office or get your dry cleaning done. NIGHT: The same restaurants where you can have lunch are also open for dinner. After dinner if you don't feel like going home just yet you have a choice of two dive bars that can be pretty fun (DaSilva's Bronco's, formerly and still lovingly referred to as "The Claran," and Blinky's). Both offer different events on different nights. You might stumble upon a karaoke night, DJ or a live band. The bars also offer pool, darts and other fun bar games. On most nights the bars will be pretty empty except for a few locals or possible some weary law students searching for a brief respite away from their dreary law books (me included). On other nights the bars may be completely full of SCU undergrads. It all depends on the day, time and the event that night. All in all this is a great place to spend some time.

    We were looking for a Target nearby and found this mall. It's an outdoor mall with all my favorite…read morestores, Target, Michaels and TJs. They also have a Marshalls and CostPlus. You can get everything done in one stop! Mall is clean. Parking lot is huge. The one thing I have to ding them on is the lack of good restaurants. There's an L&L, Pasta Market, Smashburger on the main strip. Across the lot is Panda BJs and Chilis. If they had more eateries to choose from that would be great. There was a scary delusional person yelling obscenities while he walking along the strip. However, mall security must have shooed him away because you heard him one minute and the next minute, silence.

    The owner needs to look at their policies in relation to a person bringing a single drink in to the…read moremarket place when they want to grab food from said establishments. Your security think customers are stupid. Over explaining things and saying that the Owner doesnt want people with drinks and food outside of the venue. Instead of stopping local people from bringing in a drink from establishments in the same block, they should be actually doing something to keep people safe. This is an idiotic policy that does nothing but stop people from spending money. I'm not interested in coming here anymore because of it. In this economy you should be doing better. You just lost me as a customer and I will not recommend this place to anyone. Avoid this venue if you have outside drinks and food they will just give you a hassle over it. They make you take it to your car and reiterate the same bs policy. It's not worth it!

    It's not a bad Kinokuniya, but after going to the other ones, this one just doesn't stand out as…read moremuch. It shares the same building with the Mitsuwa Market, so, of course, the shop is much smaller than the other ones out there, making it a bit more cramped. With this in mind, the books, stationery, gifts, and other goods here aren't as impressive as say a standalone Kinokuniya (common sense) or the ones that are located in malls. Or maybe I'm just spoiled by the options that I have in SoCal. It's not bad when you're in the area, but if you're a tourist and want a more comprehensive Kino experience, I would say your best bet is the Japantown SF location. However, it's still nice to stop by and see what cute stuff that they have.

    I love this Japanese bookstore. They have the cutest stuff, like stationary, felt pens, plushies,…read morestickers, bags, comics, notepads, magazines (mostly in Japanese), and much more. It's all neatly organized and displayed nicely, the perfect setup to keep you wandering the aisles. I was there today, wanting to buy myself something cute. I saw lots of stuff that appealed to me, like kitty cat thank you cards, grocery shopping bags, and cute little doodad trays, but for whatever reason didn't buy myself anything. I still had a great time checking out all of the adorable merchandise. This shop is attached to Mitsuwa Market and you enter through the food court. This is a busy shopping center with lots of stores and restaurants; parking can be problematic on weekends.
