Ha! I know that restaurant. Pretty abysmal - but I think it's the only place in town that's quite that bad.
But the town does have two redboxes, so it's got that going for it...
I know a couple of people in that area (a bit up the mountain to the east) that choose to live there. One is a CostCo executive that is the regional manager some vertical (I want to say produce, but that might not be right) for most of the stores of the north half of everything west of the rockies. He's on the road a lot, but seems to want to live there. The other is an IT guy (well, internal developer) for Whole Foods and moved there and works remotely. Now - Montana is a more common place for remote hermit developers to go to, but a shocking number of retired/retiring people move to Buffalo. (Well, shocking to me because I wouldn't, but for a town of 4,500-or-so of that particular average age, having the influx-rate match (or exceed) the death-rate is in itself surprising (to me). It also fluctuates a lot with oil & natural gas prices -- I think the population was down around 3,000 by mid-2015)
