    Everything's been knocked down and the foundation of the shopping mall is already standing. A "Saturn"-store is gonna go where the upper floors and offices of the old building used to be.

    The shopping mall's been open for a while now, I bought a CD there, feels a little wrong. Strange atmosphere. There's also casino or something on an upper floor.
