Grand Forks fans pitch tents for a free cup of coffee

After watching this video this morning from the Grand Forks Herald, we can only conclude there’s nothing to do in Grand Forks.

A Caribou Coffee and an Einstein Bagels shop opened up yesterday morning at 5 a.m., promising to reward the first 50 customers in line with a free cup of joe and a bagel once a week for year.

Would you sleep out on a sidewalk for more than 12 hours for that?

They do in Grand Forks.
