Letter to the Editor; "Use it or lose it" could be mantra for Odessa business

To the Editor:

I am sure we all can appreciate the services and businesses that we have available to us in such a small town as Odessa. And I know we all know the importance of shopping local. I have always been a firm believer in the old saying “use it or lose it.” Our clinic and hospital, our golf course, our downtown businesses and restaurants.

When the weather turned cold, I resolved to drag my tired and out-of-shape self into the newly opened business, The Fitness Place. After a couple of months of using the club, and talking with the owners, I could see business could be, and needs to be, better.

The point I am coming to is that here we have another classic example of “use it or lose it.” I am highly recommending The Fitness Place as a warm and extremely clean environment with great equipment to work off those Christmas cookies that you think the wife doesn’t know you’re sneaking when she isn’t looking. Let’s use it, not lose it.
