This area really is not bad, but I would prefer an area with a better educational system (specifically advanced courses) and more things to do. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if the town moved more from rural to urban. I likely would not choose to live here again, but that is because I prefer a bigger city, not a small town. If I wanted to raise a family in a small town, this is as good as any. Businesses have succeeded, though, in great part to the numerous casinos within the area.
I live outside a small town in a rural area. We shop at a nearby town of about 10 thousand. There are few mom and pop businesses because Wal-Mart gets most of the business. We have several video rental stores, rent a centers and easy loan businesses. We have some of the main fast food restaurants; McDonalds, Sonic, Long John Silvers and Arbys. More businesses are trying to make a go in the downtown area but it is hard to compete with Wal-Mart prices. A person can get most of what they need, but choices are limited.
Jobs are scarce, due to lack of educated adults who choose to work at fast food restaurants. There are very few jobs for young adults and teenagers.
