Just about 41 miles north of Dallas lies Celina, a small North Texas town that is America's fastest-growing city.

In Celina, American flags grace the sidewalks and the sound of country tunes fills its local businesses. Here, shop owners greet their customers by name, while neighbors exchange warm hellos as they ferry their children to and from school in shiny golf carts.
