Gander, NL

For years, airliners on the way to Europe needed to stop in Gander to refuel, making it "The Crossroads of the World." When planes no longer needed to stop in town to refuel, Gander reinvented itself with new businesses and new residents, and, after its heroic actions on September of 2001, (and an award-winning musical that commemorated this event) Gander has once again became a globally-recognized destination.
