Shift Toward Town

I recently noticed an article in the Birmingham News of a restaurant, Bonedaddy's, moving a number of miles closer in. Does this support a speculative trend of populations moving toward town as gas prices rise?

Bonedaddy's is a upscale barbecue joint that caters to a higher income crowd. Along with the move they will change their name to Sweet Bones Alabama. Hmm...

Anyway, I felt like this restaurant's move might support a trend that I've been speculating for a while now.
