In the city of Sunnyvale California, there is a street named America street. Families of many different backgrounds live on the street and in the immediate neighborhood. It's a melting pot of America in miniature. What are the feelings, the attitudes, the texture of life on America Street? What do these Americans think about America as it is today?
