I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years.
So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small pond (池塘) on the right of the town. They have filled in this pond and built a large shopping mall there. A new post office has also been built just across from my old school.
There is a baseball stadium on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely. They have now added a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really great.
The biggest changes have taken place in the downtown area. They have pedestrianized the centre and you can’t drive there anymore. A European-style fountain (喷泉) has been built and some benches (长椅) have also been added along with a grassy area and a new street cafe.
My street looks just the same as it always has, but a public library has been built down the street. There used to be a great park there, but they have cut down all the trees, which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it, but it’s not the same as when the park was there.
Another improvement is the number of new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A Mexican and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town centre and a Chinese restaurant has opened near my home, which is where I am going tonight! I can’t wait!

37. What does the underlined word “pedestrianized” mean in English?

39. Where is the writer going to have dinner?
