 * Having a hard time figuring this one out. Currently the sublist of the menu items
   is centered. Is there a custom CSS for aligning left?

 * If you don’t already have a [Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   or a custom.css you should install a plugin like [custom CSS plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/)
   then add the following to the custom css area.
 * .sub-menu li a {
    text-align: left; }

 * I was using the customize/custom CSS on the theme. I had tried this CSS code 
   there but it hadn’t worked before.
 * Using the Custom CSS plugin (which by the way, Thank-you for recommending that
   one) worked great.
 * out of curiosity, any idea why that code wouldn’t work in the customize CSS part
   of the theme?

 * Usually the custom/customizer css should be called after style/main css but sometimes
   themes do it the other way round so some customization is overridden by the main
   styles. Also caching can be an issue
