I grew up near a small city that had all those things. Department stores, paint stores, jewelers, several clothing stores etc.,. All owned by individuals. The downtown was beautiful and safe. Now I never go there because it's been totally trashed.
Can confirm. I grew up in a once-properous small town that was just as you describe. Today it's a ghost town.
