Instead of the Ma and Pa cafe that we used to make a point of stopping at on the way to Reno, there are the same fast food places we have at home.

Blame zoning, MADD and the anti-smoking campaign for shutting down all the decent and unique little bistros, bars and saloons.

While each of those have a part in these changes... I actually blame technology. There is no such thing as local anymore in this media age...
