That means a town of 15 people could add two new jobs when they decide to open a lemonade stand - and make this list. Context is everything.

We also have the third most visited museum in the US - right behind the Smithsonian and the NY Met Museum of Art - our Museum of Natural Science. Our opera is the ONLY one that has won a Tony, two Emmy awards and two Grammy awards.
