I’m not surprised. People in Monongah
and Marion County have been helping strangers since I was growing up there, and
probably a lot of decades before that.
Anyway, here’s the story:
FAIRMONT, West
Virginia – During a radio interview this morning, country music star Blake
Shelton took a moment to praise Fairmont, West Virginia 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 Fairmont, West Virginia when I noticed that we had a
flat tire so I pulled over to the side of the road and we were about to call
the car company but then just a minute or two later there were two, maybe three
cars that pulled over behind us and offered to put the spare on. So I let them.
I mean, I was just so impressed that people could be that friendly to pull over
so quickly and offer to help a complete stranger. You have to understand that
this is something that would’ve never happened in L.A.!” Shelton said with a
laugh.
He added later,
“And they had no idea who I was before they pulled over. So yeah, that’s my
story about Fairmont. It’s nice to know that there are still places like this
in America.”
