Edina, MN was almost called Hennepin Park or Westfield and has the (Kind of mean) acronym 'Every Day I Need Attention' referencing the stereotypical Edina resident as wealthy and aloof. The founder of Famous Dave's David W. Anderson is a notable Edinans as is Ric Flair who lived there as a child. :) Andrew Zimmern also resides there with his family :) Just some random facts about Edina, MN. :)
