I gather that some stores moved out when the rents went up (dot com migration from Silicon Valley).

Always loved Soko Hardware. It's an adventure.

Got a copy of the Vimalakirti Nirdesa in a bookstore there. Great stuff.
Opened the door to the Lotus Sutra, a life-changing work.

Headed back? If I can afford it somehow.
