Growing up in the greatest city in the world (Eagan, MN) comes with loads of traditions. Whether it be going to Dominik's Pizza (Doms) or cheering on our favorite football team in the Pit every Friday night, Eagan was the place to be growing up.

1.First, you don’t call it Eagan, you call it E-town

E-town baby, go Wildcats!

2. When the outlet mall opened, you freaked out (in a good way).

Even though the Mall of America is only 15 minutes away, having a massive outlet mall right in Eagan filled with discounted clothes is amazing.

3. You've gone to the end of Pilot Knob

It's the perfect place to take a super artsy pic, especially at night when the skyline of downtown Minneapolis is magnificent.

4. Your biggest rival is Eastview

I mean what even is a lightening? And also, get a city!

5. The Pit dominates every Friday night.

If you had the privilege to attend Eagan High School, then you would know that the place to be on a Friday night during the fall was in the Pit cheering on our Wildcat football team.

6.McDonalds parking lot was the hangout spot when you were younger

The McDonald's off of Lexington and Diffley was the hot spot for young teens to hang when they had nowhere else to go. But when you saw cop cars there you knew for sure that there was a drug bust going down.

7. Walking to Dunn Bros after school

When you weren't able to drive in middle school, you're favorite thing to do with your friends was to walk to Dunn Bros and Little Caesars after school.

8. One word, Doms

Dominick's Pizza is hands down the greatest restaurant in Eagan. Whether it be there pizza, Phillys, or cheese curds; the food and the people are incredible!

9. Cascade Bay

It is THE most popular water park in Minnesota and was WCCO viewers’ choice for best outdoor water park in Minnesota 2015!!

10. Schulze Beach

If you aren't in the mood for screaming children and watersides, you would head down to Schulze lake and enjoy their sandy beach for some sunbathing.

11. Senior spring break = BARCELO!

You knew the place to be senior year spring break was the Barcelo in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Being in Mexico with all your best friends was just sort of amazing.

12. CherryBerry was all the rage when it first opened

People freaked when they found out Eagan would finally have a frozen yogurt place. Going to CherryBerry multiple times a week was totally the norm.

13. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat

And to top it off, the wise words from our favorite Crim teacher Todd Carlson, "Stay out of jail, don't call me for bail money."
