Banks, Funeral Parlors and Pawnshops.

They say the prosperity of a place / town / city is measured by the number of banks there is. In my town there's only one bank (rural bank to be exact)and What businesses are popping out like mushrooms here are funeral parlors and pawnshops. I hate to admit this but my town seems getting left out and I'm stuck in the middle of its mediocrity. /sigh
