It’s Tuesday, so it’s Taco Tuesday and Happy Hour at El Torito at the Outlets of Orange, which is available only in the cantina from 3:00-9:00. The taco Tuesday was a decent deal. For $2.99 per taco, you order with the cantina waitress and she gives you a […]
Literally located next door to Zankou Chicken is this comic book/ collectible store. You can park on the street, or go around the block behind McDonalds, cut through the alley and park in the shared small lot with Zankou. The store looks small but its narrow and long. […]
This store is located on the 2nd level near Macy’s at the Santa Anita Mall. It’s not a huge store, but if you’re a collector of Funko or pop culture stuff, check it out. They also have model cars, planes and drones that they sell and fix/ repair. […]
So, Side Chick is not easy to find. It’s in the Santa Anita Mall’s EAT area next to Nordstrom (the door is next to Monkey Bar) or inside the mall its to the right of Din Tai Fung in an enclosed small food area. Past the long line […]
This little Curry restaurant is located in the same shopping strip mall as Lucille’s BBQ, next door to Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. Parking can be a bit tricky, so if you can’t find anything, park next door at Toys-R-Us. Kristina from MadPoppin recommended this place and said it was […]
I grew up in Palos Verdes area, and passed by this place hundreds of times as I ran errands, went to my dentist, or (remember this) get my photos from Longs Drugs. Fast forward 30 years, and my parents wanted to take Stephen out for his birthday. Rather than […]
While having lunch at Carthay Circle, I decided to purchase the “Max” Fastpass, a new feature offered by Disneyland Resort. A regular Fastpass is free, but you need to go to the actual attraction location to get a ticket which will “hold your place in line”. The Max […]
Stephen’s birthday was last Wednesday, so to celebrate I took him to lunch at Carthay Circle, located inside Disney California Adventure. We had 12:30 reservations, but arrived too early. To kill time, we stopped for a photo with Goofy and then had drinks at the lounge. Upon checking in, […]
A Funko Pop collector’s dream!! Located on the 2nd floor of the mall, closest to BJ’s Pizza is this independent toy store. I walked in about 15 minutes before closing and was amazed at the inventory they had. Behind the counter they had the higher end items, such […]
My search for Funko Pop continues south of Orange County in Carlsbad. This small business is located inside the Carlsbad mall, on the 2nd floor next to Sears. The mall is sad and going though a facelift, and there’s plenty of construction to make it difficult to gain […]
Hidden gem!! I was leaving another Funko store and on a whim decided to stop here. I really didn’t think that this place would offer much, and I was very mistaken. The store wall is lined with Funko Pops, and even down the middle of the store are […]
We normally get something to eat in Vegas before heading back to SoCal, but decided to grab a bite in Baker instead. We looked up places to eat, and Baker has all sorts of fast food from McD’s to KFC, and then they have the “famous” Mad Greek […]
This State Park is located about 45-minutes outside Las Vegas. If you forget to fill up your tank, there’s a Chevron at the exit and the prices were 10c cheaper than Vegas. If you’ve been to Red Rock Canyon this is a must stop. It truly is Red […]
It’s another Vegas trip, and this time my stay is back at the Paris Hotel and Casino. I try to stick with the Caesar’s Entertainment properties now that most of the hotels on the Strip charge for parking. Since I am Platinum status, I can get free rooms […]
I stopped here with coworkers for lunch. The food isn’t the best I’ve had but the price is fair and you get soup plus a drink! I had the 2 item lunch combo, and chose 2 chicken enchilada (red sauce) and it came with rice and beans. The beans […]
WHAT? No Taco Tuesday at this location?? I wonder if this is a franchise and not owned by the corporation? Regardless, I came to the one located off Jamboree on a Tuesday evening and maybe it was good there’s no Taco Tuesday. The place was busy but not […]
I’m a new Funko Pop! collector and stumbled onto this while yelping for more Funko Pop! places to check out. What luck for me! Most people use this company because they ran out of display space. Well, I didn’t run out of space to display my new hobby, […]
