You would know hardly any of the non-chain restaurants as I would know the same for Tuscaloosa.

Untrue. I've been in Auburn quite a lot, although not in the last three years. Before that, though, the restaurant and bar scene didn't compare to Tuscaloosa's. That's fine - some people like small college towns.

The point was all of those restaurants are in the same location and tuscaloosa has nothing that matches that.

Thank goodness. A bunch of terrible, generic chain restaurants in the same place is blight, not a selling point.

And 7 times out of 10 people will eat at the above restaurants over the non-chain ones.

7 out of 10 people who don't know any better, maybe.

Seriously, when "having an Arby's" is part of your argument as to why your city is better, you might want to rethink your argument.
