Every named place in Old Town
All Old Town locations on the in-game map, with their lot type and what you can actually do there — the same data as the full Melino places list.
| Place | Lot type | What you do there |
|---|---|---|
| Bloom | Store | Florist — buy plants (the same ones available in Build Mode) straight into your inventory. Jobs exist here, but work is a rabbit hole. |
| Headlines | Store | Barber — sells haircuts and hair services. Mirrors for outfit and makeup changes are elsewhere; Headlines is hair only. |
| L'Armoire | Store | Clothing store — buy the mannequin outfits (Paramaker clothes) at 50 paradimes each. Open 9am–9pm, with 3 changing rooms. |
| Market Antiques | Store | Furniture store — buy furniture here. |
| The Story Nook | Cafe | Pub and bar — drinks, socializing, Meli-Melo tables, a book-lending corner, an upstairs fireplace and a downstairs dance floor with a DJ booth. |
| The Cellar Door | Fancy Restaurant | Fine dining, open 11am–11pm — 4 pre-made dishes at 20 paradimes each (Scallop Risotto, Filet Mignon, Burrata Salad, Mushroom Pasta), eat-in or takeout. The memorial sign outside commemorates the Community Center. |

| Moon Tower | Park | Medieval stone tower on the cliff splitting the beach — barricaded, so you can't go inside. The Astronomy Club sometimes sets up telescopes on the street leading to it. |
