It's kind of beautiful, kind of depressing.

I've worked in a cafe, another cafe, Walnut Cottage, and the Beachcomber Motel.

Well, it's kind of endearingly silly... me and Elisabeth noticed how we'd been referring to the shops as "town" when we lived there, and how silly that seemed now we were in an "actual" town so much... the teenagers are great. Hey, let's WALK AROUND tonight!

Walk around and shout a bit! McDonalds is the only place open past 12 and that's only on a Friday night. Even the Starmart closes before 10pm.

Of course, there's also Emergency File...

"MAN DESCRIBED" A man was seen outside the Orewa library attacking a palm tree.

Walk around? That sounds like Rangiora! Why walk when you can SIT?

Hey I think the Beachcomber was near us. Anyway, I reckon everyone should visit Orewa. It's nice and flat and we're gonna skateboard there sometime.

I caught a bus there one night when I was young and distressed and stood in a phonebox on the phone for hours until a cop came along and told me I shouldn't be out on my own by the highway in the middle of the night so I spent the rest of the night on the beach, I saw a hedgehog, I was going to run away up north or something but I just caught a bus back to Auckland the next day. So, Orewa, yes depressing!

four months pass...

Yeah people SIT outside the library and the supermarket and try to look scary/as if they're enjoying themselves a lot. Teenagers, anyway. Old people do much the same thing but leave out trying to look scary.

well things've certainly changed for Orewa signification since this thread began

It has a large hideous apartment building crudely modelled after a ship now. It sucks quite appallingly, tho it has a nice fountain level just above the lower floors

Comparatively nice

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Friday, 28 May 2004 12:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Have you been in there?? I want in.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Friday, 28 May 2004 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Let's do it next time we're there, we can pose as potential investors
