GRAND FORKS, North Dakota – During a radio interview this morning, Hollywood actor Adam Sandler took a moment to praise Grand Forks, North Dakota residents who had helped him with a mechanical issue with his rental car as he passed through the city recently:
“We were just leaving the city limits of Grand Forks, North Dakota when the damn car overheated or something so I pulled it over to the side of the road and within just a minute or two there were a couple of cars that pulled over to help me out. I told them that I was on the phone with the rental car company but one of them had a brother who owned a tow truck and a few minutes later it was there and he towed it to a place nearby to get fixed.
So then the one guy finds out that I’m not from there and offers to take me in to get lunch while my car is getting fixed and I’m thinking, ‘Sure, what the hell.’ So we drove to probably the finest dining spot in Grand Forks – some place called Bonzer’s – and got a sandwich. Great freakin’ sandwich too. These guys had no idea who I was either which made my day, honestly. I’m telling you, these people in Grand Forks are the real deal. I’m going to move there after I retire,” Sandler said with a laugh.
Sandler added later, “You have to understand, this is something that would’ve never happened in L.A.! So yeah, that’s my story about Grand Forks, North Dakota. It’s nice to know there are still places like this in America.”
