If you're on a travelled road, you have what my dad used to call furreners who prefer to know the quality and tastes of their food, hence the chain foods. Looking at a local place with parking in the back, you have no idea if it's a dive or not. Typical McD's has an child exercise area, pre-programmed visitors, uniform quality and sanitation.

In Nebraska, I saw walmarts in the towns of about 500 people, as long as they were about 50miles apart and the area could support the operation. Besides the muni building, postoffice and possibly a gas station, that would be the town.

I think the move out of cities is a desire to pay less income to cope with the A$$ nextdoor and the 2am drunken party, or at least that's what I did. Do notice I'm back in a big ish city
