Cheri Charney & Our Community
Q: What are a couple of your favorite restaurants in our community?
I am a big fan of Gabrielles and for healthy food, I enjoy Natural Kitchen.
Q: How long have you lived or worked in our community?
All my life of many years!
Q: What current or former local business makes you the most nostalgic about our community?
Well, it was the Firelight shopping plaza in Orange! My mom would take us to Wolfe’s Bakery for rye bread and they always gave us this huge chocolate chip cookie that I can still taste to this very day. I often went to the beauty parlor there with my Mom who went every week, I think on Friday’s, to get her hair done.
Q: What is your favorite thing or something unique about our community?
I have always loved the location of Orange growing up, as Orange is in a perfect V between the Merritt Parkway and I-95. A bedroom community and then drive 2 miles and had everything we wanted. Living in Bethany now? There are a lot of cows! LOL
Q: If you could choose anyone that is alive today and not a relative; with whom would you love to have lunch? Why? And where locally would y’all meet for this lunch?
Well, I think it would have to be Tom Hanks! Why? Because he is Tom Hanks! Where would we meet for lunch? Who cares about lunch! I’d be with Tom Hanks!!!
