I often watch travel vloggers visit these places and you can't help but notice that all the vendors are also in their 70s or older, and they run them on their own. With no generational hand-over these places are doomed not matter how succesful or not they might be.

She faced a lot of backlash in the rural area where this was located due to her looks, and I assume, this is also a problem where young people try once and then forget about it, or don't even try...
