To Us, the Crossroads is an important meeting place; it is the intersection of two busy roads. It is a place of choices and decisions. In art, "crossroads" is used as a place of dramatic or supernatural events. In music, composers write of “reaching a crossroads” in their lyrics evoking the imagery of a “crossing point,” “a crossing-over,” or of a spiritual crossroads in their lives. It is coming home to the things and ideals worth taking a stand.
According to the dictionary, the meaning of crossroads deals with choice, consequence; choosing the direction in which we want to go (both physically and spiritually). It portents the many opportunities on the horizon for us. So, in a sense, in journeying across the Heartland of America, you have arrived at a meeting place of many meanings.

The Right to Shop- Essentially, the right to shop involves choosing which stores are patriotic, eco-friendly, and or stores with unionized employees. As one marketing expert put it:“We have the right to shop anywhere and at anytime. The choices of where to shop and how to shop are no more abundantly expressed than in our free enterprise economic system. In this country, Americans have great buying opportunities with a multitude of stores and shopping malls open all hours. And despite the economic downturn, people will continue to purchase what ever they need or want.”
