You can get an idea of what goes on in an area by watching the long time business's that are for sale and how fast as well as if they sell.

Since we were in pike county outside of hawley i occassionally google commercial property for sale and i am amazed at some of the core business's that go up for sale with few takers

Since we have been gone i see or have seen places like the hawley Iga ,fallsport steak house, trisha's bagels, aj sports bar, muggs, a whole row of stores empty where the antique store was , rumors , the ice cream place on rte 6 by iga , The tanglwood ski area and so many other business's like motels in the area fold or up for sale.

That is never the signs of an area doing well and growing.

Watching how long and how low the homes for sale go is another sign.

Kahr Firearms just opened their new plant in Pike County, after moving out of Connecticut due to the anti-gun politics there. Kahr brought about 200 high-paying jobs with them, if I recall correctly. They could have moved anywhere but they did their research and chose Pike County.
