I was at sitting inside the National Bank on Grand Marais and Dominion a week ago at approximately 11:15am and as I looked out the window I could see an elderly woman trying to cross the road but was very hesitant in doing so. It was a busy time of day and the traffic was quite heavy. A gentleman must have seen her hesitation from the parking lot as well and walked over to her. I couldn't help but stare out the window watching his every move. It's unfortunate to think this way but I really hoped he wasn't going to steal her purse. Instead I witnessed the most sweetest thing, he gently took her by the arm and helped her cross the road. I believe he even stopped traffic in both directions. A few minutes later I saw him cross the street again and go about his business as usual. Thank you to this gentle soul for assisting an elderly woman cross the street to safety.
