This is a very unique thrift shop in Orono.  It started life as a school.  Notice two doors.  Boys and girls filed in separately.  I think it was in that incarnation through the mid 60s.  Now the top floor holds the thrift shop and meals for me and other community programs take place downstairs.  Awhile back it was almost torched to provide training for firefighters.  Luckily people who recognized its historical value were up in arms.  Entirely volunteer run, it not only provides income for Orono Health Association, but donates to other worthwhile organizations.
