ORION—For 30 years, from March 1967 to March 1997, the Orion Cafe was a popular place to eat in the village. Bill Allred, a former resident of Orion, always mentions the cafe when his band plays in Central Park. Although 12 years have passed since owner and operator Audrey Cook closed the restaurant, people still remember it fondly. Her granddaughter, Chris Cooper Noble, started an Orion Cafe page on Facebook and quickly drew more than 225 fans. The Orion Gazette chose the cafe as the first of our reader callouts, which ask area residents to share their memories, experiences or comments.
