It's always a kick to see new businesses enter the area, especially one that should breathe a little life into the comatose Mall at Steamtown in downtown Scranton.
A gym chain, called "Crunch" opened an outlet yesterday. I have to say I'm impressed, and I've been a member of another gym for nearly four years. This one has all the toys.
Drawbacks? A few. I usually work out in the middle of the night, and this one is not a 24 hour operation. It's also in a mall, and that could be a little inconvenient because of parking and schlepping about in workout clothes.
Still, I hope it works. We need another successful business.
