I lived on Michigan St., and had many happy days in the same orange grove. I good relate to sitting in the “good” trees just enjoying the taste and fragrance of the trees. I think my dog “Puff” loved it as much as I did. I lived on the property of Blue Bird Canning Plant when my Dad worked there at one time. The wonderful smell of oranges permeated in the air all the way over to Michigan St. Oh, joy! Great memories!

I was thrilled to read the article Oranges in O’Town. I lived on Michigan Ave. and walked in the orange grove mentioned above. I spend many “great” times there sitting in the “good” trees and experienced the fragrance of the orange blossoms. In addition there were grapefruits, tangerines, kumquats, and many “kinds” of oranges. Nine years (age 6 to 15) I lived what you were speaking of. Saddened when the orange grove was replaced with industrial buildings. I was so happy to share in your memories. Took my bike and my dog “Puff” with me many of those days. Remember the Blue Bird Canning Plant too. I lived on the property when my Dad worked there. The smell of oranges permeated throughout the property. Oh, joy!
