It's a hard life, with not much financial reward for most.

Sometimes its a simple matter of location.
I went out to my hometown today to do some painting for my grandmother and I saw that the restaurant at the main intersection of two country roads is still open. Nothing around it but farms and its been there for better than 30 years.
The food isn’t great but it isn’t bad either. Just basic meat and potatoes type of stuff but they’ve got a regular customer base that eats there once a week.
