Ebisu Life Store Alhambra & Gacha & Catch Santa Monica with Free Flower Day...s

 
A new Japanese style store has opened up in Alhambra a few months back and it looks like a great place to grab Japanese snacks and goods. If you're already in Alhambra you might as well visit Nucleus Gallery.
 
300 W Main St #120, Alhambra, CA 91801
No, dedicated parking lot, lame 
 
From what we've read social media wise, is it's a bit overpriced on some items, but very clean and a huge selection. So, we're saying you should at least check it out, plus they're having a Black Friday Sale.
 
Meanwhile, in Santa Monica...
 
 
 
Gacha & Catch has caught are attention. The claw machines you might have seen in Dave & Buster's or Round 1 have a huge pop-up on the Third Street Promenade right now. And, Gatcha machines with capsules in them, apparently different from Gashapon, which we believe is bankrolled by Bandai.  With so many UFO Catchers, maybe your chances are higher of winning something?
 
1451 3rd Street Promenade
Santa Monica
Current hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday and Sunday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday.

There's also Free Flower Day starting tomorrow at...around noon, so like, you have a few minutes to get there if you arrive at noon. What's Free Flower Day? Well it's on Thanksgiving and actually lasts three days, so not a day, and you get a free flower and credit for a crane game if you're one of the first 200 in the store. 
 
Clearly, the people running it are from Japan and aren't taking a cues from any Americans trying to help them. Because it doesn't really make that much sense, but whatever free flower y'all.
 
Oh, and the issues with Waymos is still going strong there too.
