If an Alien Landed at Olney Community Night …


… it would think we are all exercise fanatics. I’ve often heard Olney residents joke that our town has too many restaurants and banks. However, at last week’s Community Night I counted 3 dance studios (Berrend Dance Center, Dancin’ 4 Ever, Studio of Ballet Arts); 3 yoga studios (Aspen Hill Body & Brain Yoga, Open Heart Healing, Yin Yang Yoga & Fitness); 3 martial arts schools (Kang’s Black Belt Academy, Master Method Karate, Scott Teague’s Academy of Martial Arts); 3 gyms (Curves, Gold’s Gym, The Little Gym); 1 golf course (Blue Mash); a fundraiser that requires walking/running (Relay for Life) and even a tutoring center that sounds like it teaches numbers through exercise (Mathnasium of Olney). If the alien said that our town likes physical activity, I proudly agree that Olney is indeed a vibrant and active community.

And if the alien thought that we are a bit high maintenance (with places like Hand+Stone Massage and Facial Spa, Luxuria Salon & Spa; Spa and Massage Envy), I would say that we deserve pampering after working out. If the alien thought perhaps we were overdoing ourselves (and needed places like Integrated Sport, Spine & Rehab, Life Chiropractic and Moss Chiropractic), I would admit okay, maybe a little.

I would emphasize to the alien that at least we burn off the food we eat at our numerous restaurants.  Most importantly, we have plenty of banks to get money to pay for all of our exercising, pampering, rehabbing of sports injuries, and dining.
