Oimachi Changed While I Was Away

Today’s story きょうの あらすじ
Yesterday I went for the first time to a new shopping mall called Oimachi Tracks. It has a cinema and a sauna, clothing shops, souvenir shops and a great many places to eat: a large complex. In fact, more than fifteen years ago the boyfriend I was seeing at the time lived in Oimachi, so I used to go to Oimachi Station often. After we parted, though, I stopped setting foot in Oimachi altogether. Yesterday, back at Oimachi Station for the first time in years, the moment I stepped inside Oimachi Tracks I thought, goodness, how much this town has changed, and I was astonished. There were many good places to eat as well, so I want to go again.
