For those who care, DC started to rework the map two streams ago and he'll continue this week.
Just in case somebody has a really good idea and wants to see it in the game, there's probably never been a better time to suggest something.

Hmm OK, so I though a lot about this, and these are the buildings/structures/places that I would imagine could be present in a small town like this but are still missing from the map in the game:
- City Hall (Summerville has a Mayor, and yet, no City Hall in sight)
- Courthouse
- Fire Station
- Gas Station
- Post Office (where does all this mail we keep getting coming from?)
- Museum
- Restaurant (has part-time job potential for the MC)
- Diner (has part-time job potential for the MC)
- Bar (has part-time job potential for the MC)
- Nightclub (the Bar could also be part of the Nightclub, for example)
- Theme/Amusement Park (could be a water park or any other type; interchangeable with the Fair and the Circus)
- Fair (could be a Funfair/Carnival, or even a County Fair or some other type; interchangeable with the Theme Park and the Circus)
- Circus (interchangeable with the Theme Park and the Fair)
- Amusement Arcade/Bowling Center (I saw a mention to this in one of the comments and I also agree that it would be a great place for future dating scenes along with my other suggestions for places of leisure)
- Casino (did someone say
surprise mechanics? xD)
- Brothel/Strip Club (high amounts of potential for more lewd content)
- Resort (like a bathhouse, this one could be a steamy one full of lewd scenes as well, for example a spa resort near some hot springs with everything from baths to saunas to massages)
- Boathouse (well, Summerville is a seaside town so I don't see why not? only problem would be the lack of space around the water on the map at the moment)
- Marina/Shipyard (again, seaside town and all that, there's that Yatch just standing there in front of the beach, but no place where to dock it. but yeah, I know, not enough space around the water on the map at the moment)
- Supermarket/Grocery Store/Convenience Store (I was thinking that maybe Summerville would have a smaller counterpart to it's big Shopping Mall in town, another place for commerce just a bit more modest, also has part-time job potential for the MC)
- Camping Park
- Playground
- Office Building (a small one where some of the residents of Summerville could go to work)
- Retirement/Nursing Home (remember to care for your elders as well, people)
- Funeral Parlor (oof, I know, this all went dark real fast)
- Motel
- Bus Station (somewhere at the edge of the map; interchangeable with the Railroad Station)
- Railroad Station (somewhere at the edge of the map; interchangeable with the Bus Station)
- Water Tower (think like the Warner Bros. water tower but instead it could feature the game's logo on it or something relevant like that)
These are simply suggestions, of course, I know some of these can be implemented inside the already existing Shopping Mall as well, still they would create more jobs for existing (and maybe future) characters that still apparently have no place of work.
A bunch of these I feel would be really nice for the future in terms of places to go when the dating mechanics start to be implemented into the game.
And yet, at the same time, I'm pretty sure some of the others would probably be of no use for what DC is planning for Summertime Saga.
