In Bedford Falls, standard entertainment was walking down to watch the library close. There was no privacy. Your business was on everyone else's lips.
In Pottersville, there was dancing, jazz bands, bars, burlesque, boxing, billiards. The Blue Room, The Midnight Club, The Indian Room, The Bamboo Room, take your pick. And from the looks of things, there were plenty of people on the sidewalks, which represents commerce. The Pottersville cornucopia brought more consumers to town than did Bedford Falls' single movie screen showing "Bells of St. Mary's and 2nd great feature."
No wonder young George Bailey wanted to vamoose and see the world.
