ANKENY, Iowa – Hollywood actor and director Clint Eastwood passed through Ankeny, Iowa recently and apparently was quite impressed with the residents there. In an interview this week Eastwood said:
“Well… we had a flat tire just as we were about to leave the city limits of Ankeny and two, maybe three cars pulled over within five minutes to help us with it. And no, they had no idea who I was before they pulled over. They were very helpful and very friendly. I gotta say, I was really impressed with the people of Ankeny, Iowa. That would’ve never happened in L.A.!”
Clint’s vehicle was back on the road within a short period of time. What a great testament to the residents of Ankeny! Let us know what you think in the comments section and don’t forget to share this story with your friends by clicking the share button below.
