Is a retail area with assorted collection of fast-food eatries so generic --- so common?
... I drove the streets of Lenoir, passing through the retail district, complete with the assorted collection of fast-food restaurants, and began to slow the car only when I reached less generic part of town. Here was the part of Lenoir that hadn't changed, where new-comers and tourists were welcome to visit but would never be considered locals.

Yes, in a lot of American cities, there will be areas in which you can't tell which city you're in. There's a Home Depot and outside that is a Burger King and Wendy's, and there's a Wal-Mart not too far away with the McDonalds and then a Best Buy store a couple car dealerhips -- they all look the same. The fast food restaurants are everywhere, the "Big Box" stores are everywhere.
