Not sure the reason, as it's hard to keep a small restaurant open here, but while in town yesterday I noticed one of the cafes is all closed up and a for lease sign in the window.
Third different place there since we arrived in late '16. Food there was "decent' but nothing special.
Do you live in a hippie/artist village?
Hardly.
They pass through on their way to the Burning Man though. Chamber of Commerce types here, business owners, gas stations, the grocery and liquor stores were pissed at the China Flu last year for shutting it down. Some places get 30% of yearly receipts from them coming through. Wonder how many will attend this year, seems they're going to require the vaccination passport.
Our "artists" are conservative ranch and farm women it seems. At least according to my wife who takes classes from them at the art center.
