Main Street in Ora

Ora is very unique. From living there my whole life, it’s definitely a family town. Everyone knows everyone. There’s never new-comers. There is an old time school house placed in the middle of the town, there was once a old time doctors office across from it, and so much more. This town has its own memories from the changes it’s been through. Seems like everyone who lives in that town, is family in some sort of way.
