Business in the area tends to shy away from big business, other than the local McDonalds and Rite-Aid. Local business is typically owned by families, accordingly, it's safe to say that it's more of a mom-and-pop area with low quality service. My area lacks a lot of quality but it's enough for a sustainable life, just on a lower level. So much more could be offered to the people of my area but the absence of big business takes away from the service and products of the local area..
