It is because in the areas where lots of chain restaurants exist,
5-10 years ago they were just undeveloped fields. There are no locally
owned restaurants. If you get out to newly developed areas in the
northeast,
such as those that were farmland 5 years ago, you'll find the same
pro****tion of chain restaurants. And it is not a good thing.
