How many miles you need to walk around to find something you want?

The town that I grew up in was a small town with a very historic and quaint downtown. It was filled with many shops that flourished before walmart arrived. Now it is about 15 years after walmart any there are 30+ vacant shops in the old downtown. Soon after walmart there was a home depot built about 100 yards away. Needless to say my hometown is turning into the slums.
Travel around the country and that is every town..

All over the place it's the exact same stores town after town. There is very little diversity anywhere it's just the big retailer chains. I call them Lego land towns because it's like they are built from a kit. It's always the same stores all packaged together.
