My home town. I came to Eagle at 11 months old, in 1957. There were about 500 people in the Eagle area at that time. Mostly a small family farm town then. The farms, including my Dad’s are all gone now. The joke goes, for both Eagle, and Meridian, as the old timers drive through, they say: “I remember when that was a field.” I’ve said that to my grandchildren. Not much left from when I was a kid. One last story, When Orville Jackson’s was still a pharmacy, (and was still owned by Orville Jackson,) it had a soda fountain, just like the pharmacies from the ‘30s and the ‘40s. Walking home from school, (I went to Eagle Elementary, when it was the only elementary school in town, one classroom per grade,) we would stop in, sit at the soda fountain and drink .05 cent root beer. .10 cent for a large.
We love Eagle! Thanks for highlighting this gem of a small town. BTW, shout out to Old State Saloon for all they do for the downtown and for us locals here in Eagle throughout the year! That's the old Drug Store building next to Bodacious.
@@BoiseRealEstate I didn't know about that... I live an alternative lifestyle and am thinking about eagle as my next location. Just wondering what the options there were for alternative nightlife

That’s a great gem of info, thanks!
How's the gay bar scene?
zero clue
unless this is a joke based on the bar that had the hetero free drink month?

Crave???! So overrated
I’ve never had a bad meal there and the atmosphere is 10x better than Bardenay 🙂
