A lot depends on the location of the community itself.
A more remote small town has to be more independent than a town closer to a larger city. My home town is a town of 7,000 population 25 miles from Lincoln, the state capitol. Fifty years ago, it was a close knit community with all the goods and services you could want right in town. Now it's devolved into not much more than a bedroom community for people who work in Lincoln, with the goods and services available more of an emergency nature.
I buy a lot on Amazon and EBay anymore. It's too easy to surf Amazon for a few minutes, find exactly what I want, click on "Buy", and have it delivered to my front door within a couple of days. If I try to buy something locally, I wind up killing a half day trying to find what I want, and then the place has to order it anyway.
I've been in business myself locally, plus I've held local public office and I'd love to deal with local merchants, but like they say, "It ain't like it used to be".
