My wife grew up near salmon arm in buttfuck know where and spent a lot of time traveling in the US for shows when she was younger. To this day she still brings up how much the lower mainland is ‘incorporated’. If you go shopping, it’s to a big box store. If you go eat it’s at a chain restaurant. When you leave the GVRD there are so many more independently owned restaurants and grocery stores and bakeries etc. Everything is a small business in a small town.
I don’t think people here realize how much big box stores change things. The South Park Walmart episode is right on the money.
