You Might Be From Eugene, Oregon If:
You enjoy fishing, but have to decide which of the 65+ places in Lane County you should visit to drop your line in the water.
You're either a University of Oregon Duck fan or an Oregon State University Beaver fan, but never both.
You look forward to opening day of Saturday Market, the oldest outdoor craft market in the United States. You either have a booth there to sell your handmade items or you visit the Park Blocks in downtown Eugene to shop, eat great food, and enjoy entertainment by local musicians. You return as often as you can on Saturdays during the spring, summer, and fall to see what's new and show out-of-town visitors.
You visit the Lane County Farmers Market adjacent to the Saturday Market and buy locally grown produce, grains, plants, flowers or farm-raised pork, chicken, and beef.
You swing by "the Whit" west of downtown Eugene to have a craft beer at Ninkasi, Cajun food at Papa's Soul Food Kitchen, handcrafted pizza at Pizza Research Institute, and experience what life in a neighborhood that still retains a 60's vibe is like.
Your regular greeting and farewell to friends, family, and strangers is "Go Ducks" (for the hometown University of Oregon football team).
You know which city in the entire country is best for hippies.
