Second hand stores in Osaka

What good Second hand stores do you know in or around the Osaka area. While the -Off places are good and all, what I'm really looking for is the medium sized ones that seem like they have some uncovered treasure...

    Have you tried the Nakazaki-cho area, maybe around 10 mins walk from Umeda station? I've heard there a lot of small stores around there that could be good for turning up some treasure.

    Nakazakicho does have some good stores, but they tend to be really pricey. I've found KINJI to be the closest thing to thrift stores in the US. It's in the Big Step building in Amemura.

    Really depends on the kind of stuff you want to buy, if you're interested in manga, games, figures and such, Mandarake (one in Umeda and one in Amemura, around Nanba) is really nice, good prices and a lot of stuff to choose from :)

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?
