Last week Sheryl Crow returned home to see a street named in her honor. While she was there, she took time to praise this mid-sized city as "the heart and soul of what this country is based on." And she specifically praised the city for nurturing her dreams:

"'There were always people around me saying you can do whatever you want, you can be whatever you want. If you can see it, you can be it. I always say get into the work and not the outcome because the work is where it's at,' said Crow."

That sense of support and community helped create an artist who has won nine Grammy Awards. All across America, there are many other Kennetts where dreams are born and fostered. What mid-sized cities lack in size, they make up for in intimacy and community. Just ask Sheryl Crow.
