That makes me sad. Also makes me want to start a GOOD restaurant there, so
that the residents don't have to settle for slop.

One of the best restaurants in this area is in a tiny town named Plymouth.
(www.restauranttaste.com is their web site.) Unfortunately, I think they're
struggling to stay afloat these days because their customer base has
dwindled so drastically, and people in more-populated areas are not
interested in driving an hour to dine there.
