Sandler is a NYC/New England native, born in Brooklyn, and raised in Manchester, New Hampshire, and is no stranger to Connecticut. Most of my co-workers were able to watch Sandler and crew film scenes of Mr. Deeds in 2000 on Bank Street in New Milford. I've seen him perform stand up and sing at the Meadows in Hartford and down in Bridgeport at the old Harbor Yard arena, and most of my friends and family in Waterbury were delighted when Sandler chose to have his fictional moving company based out of our hometown in Happy Gilmore 2.
