Renewal Open
Near JR Minami Kurume Station, there's a little suburban shopping mall I affectionately refer to as LAME. It's not cool at all, but sometimes I go there to use the ATM or read magazines. They also have a 1000 yen haircut salon and a supermarket. We recently joked that their “Food Court” was more like a Hamburger Court, as all it had was a McDonalds. Anyway, they recently closed the whole place for a couple weeks to remodel, so I thought I'd stop by and be awed by the fancy new design. There are new apartment buildings being completed across the street, so I really thought they were trying to step up the quality. I was not that surprised to find almost nothing had changed. A couple of the first floor shops had been remodeled and moved, and in the center a new drugstore will open in May. The food court sign has been removed, but there's a tiny kara-age shop there now. The design is new, but has an outdated feel to it, and other than retrofitting the toilets (no more squatties), it wasn't really an improvement. I'll continue mostly avoiding this place when I can.
