There was a time when Eagle was just a stop sign and a few houses.
I grew up near Boise in the '80s and never even heard of "Eagle," despite regularly making the trip up and down the I84 corridor between Boise and Fruitland.
Wow. My grandparents live near Fruitland. I lived in Middleton for a while. We had to go through Eagle to get to Boise. If you took I84 you wouldn't even see the exit for it.
Probably not a big deal, but be careful with self-doxing... You never know what kind of crazy person may try to track you down or figure out who you are.
Definitely. Some of the people here talking about home towns astound me. The most I’d do is allude to my home state, and even that’s only because it’s one of the larger ones.
This is similar to where I grew up. The town it is part of has more than quadrupled in population in 20 years, and the specific "side" of town has grown so much that it now has a locality name, whereas before, if you called it that, people would have just gone, "Huh, isn't that the name of the road?"
It's pretty bizarre. Especially when 90%+ of the growth has come from interstate and third-world (mostly the latter) immigration, lol...

Most of my family was centered around the Parma area. Some closer to Wilder and Homedale. Small world.

It doesn't matter where you are, someone is or knows an Idahoan.
Weird but true, I liked the gifted program in Idaho over Washington. There was a lot of aggrandizing over teaching in Washington.
