1 years ago At present it is almost impossible to get a home in Odessa. As of the start of the school year all available homes in Odessa are occupied, indicating an increase in population which is contrary to current thought that population was on the decline.

It seems coincidental that all four fires have been late on the 13th or early on the 14th. The four previous fires destroyed two grain...
