Good Morning America kicked off new series “Main Street U.S.A.” in Stillwater, Minnesota, on the July 3 program. The segments highlight what Good Morning America calls “some of the most iconic Main Streets across the country and the communities, small businesses and hometown heroes that are keeping the American spirit alive along their respective Main Streets.”
Alex Perez, ABC News correspondent, checked out Stillwater July 3, as hundreds of locals came together to honor Sara Jespersen, a resident who has been key to building up Main Street in the town. “It’s a vibrant place to be,” she said. “It’s an amazing community to live in, and we’re all so proud. And I feel like every single person contributes to its success. And all these small business owners and community members — they’re parts of our heart.”
