Garrett Tenney: The World Cup Is Shining a Spotlight on America’s Heartland, Many Visitors Say They’re Discovering What They Call the ‘Real America’

EXCERPT:

TENNEY: “The World Cup has become this incredible PR campaign for America, bringing fans from across the globe to parts of the country they likely never would have visited. And nowhere is that more true than Middle America, places like here in Kansas City and all the small towns between here and the coast where fans are falling in love with what they call the real America.”
