Exactly how aid is Orono? 1 mean can you imagine if these ancient walls and streets couid talk exactly what Orono could tell you. 1 know there must bc at least twenty six years of exciting tales because 1 know my famii.,'s been here that long and I've heard quite the stories about them from my Gramma. This town is full of ail sorts of different people not just the Jacksons and yet ail of tbem share one thing in common, That being what makes this town, old fashioned!!! We may be into the 90s but Orono sure isn't. 1 know I've always thought of that being a bad tbing s0 Ive always tried to change that at my bouse. My mom does the cooking and cleaning, my dad works ail day (bas neyer even attempted the laundry) and of course my sister and 1 obey stricter rules that my baby wtFohur will at our age. Ait hough 1 don't gree with al he',cways I h&4,'<however given iip trving to change them. Some people May wonder why, since Most people know I neyer give up. Well it's because that's ail a part of our history. I've hieard people complain of many bad things about Orono such as the Gossip but ironically the ones 1 always hear it from are the ones who talk the most!!! Well I guess thats something we just have to accept though because thats our sweet little town. There is one thing about Orono that has always been but isn't bad and no matter how it advances always will be. In Orono your best-friend as a child will likely not change too much. Orono has always been old fasbioned (probably always wil be). Orono has always had gos- sip (although 1 think it's wors- ened over the last couple of years). But Most of ail Orono is a littie town where you spend most of your time trying to get out of just to realize its like an old shoe, it's old and out of style but it's yours. HALLS RADIO & T.V.
