For Cakes and Polka to Nebraska. In Wilber, Czech Traditions Have Been Alive for Centuries

Summary by iDNES.cz
A small town in southeastern Nebraska, where Czech and American flags hang side by side on houses and pillars. Not a foot on the street. The all-encompassing silence is broken only by the loudspeakers on the corner of the butcher shop, from which Dvořák's Novosvětská is playing. Perhaps there would be nothing so strange about it if every other sign were not in Czech.
