LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Over 40 years ago, my father, Earl Glasser, started our family business, Medical Center Opticians,
here in Oakland. A true entrepreneur, he understood the importance of location, location, location
and was delighted to have opened the doors of his retail establishment in the land of Pittsburgh's
university mecca. Today, there are over 200 retailers and professional office establishments who,
like my father, also chose to locate their business in Oakland-- they are delighted as well!
I am proud to be a business owner in Pennsylvania's third largest area of commerce and I am particularly
proud of being part of the organization working to keep this district competitave. My fellow members of
the OBID Board are a diverse group of entrepreneurs, property owners, residents and local educational
and medical community stakeholders who have pledged to provide the resources, time and expertise necessary
to keep our district safe, clean, attractive and exciting. Thanks to their support and to the support of our staff.
2006 was a great year and we promise to have many more successes in the future.
Sincerely,
Michael Glasser
Chairman, OBID Board of Directors
