No More Oranges
Personal memory by Victoria Schween
2004 • Altamonte Springs, FL, USA
I remember being driven to elementary school as a child and looking out the window as I passed orange groves. Rows and rows of orange tree's grew on fields of bright green grass. Recently I was driving on the same road and the groves were being torn down by bulldozers, at the front of the property a sign announced the new apartment complex which was being built. The oranges groves I passed everyday on the way to school were soon going to be apartment complexes.
