Paris West Optical

We've been talking about it for a bit now...but it's official. Linder Opticians in Bel Air is now Paris West Optical. For those who didn't know, Bruce Linder was a master optician who for 37+ years provided exceptional service and quality eye wear in Bel Air, Maryland. (and I thought 19+ years was doing something). Unfortunately, Bruce was diagnosed with a non-treatable form of cancer a little while back. He wanted to make sure that his business continued in such a way that his loyal customers would continue to be taken care of and also that his lovely wife Cindy wouldn't have to deal with the loose ends and stress of his business. Based on the recommendation of mutual customers, suppliers and as well as the reputation of our shop, Bruce placed a call to me earlier this year. To be honest, while flattered, I was not interested initially. I had spent the last almost 20 years working on Paris West and had only in the past few years been able to take time off. But Bru...

citypaper.com/bob/poll How can you say "no" to these faces? Well maybe Cailin's face...I say no to Duane on a daily basis. (the Patty Paillette specs he's wearing are in stock however, and they're easy to say "yes" to.)

YES...we will be open TODAY July 5th from 10-6. (we may still have spots open for Doc Larry, call for availability) and we will be in tomorrow, July 6th, as well from 10-5. Stop in and check out the new arrivals from Jono Hennessey and much more!

Long time readers of our blog know what big fans we are of Pro Design and their Gail Spence aluminum re-issue collection. We were thrilled when after 20 years, Pro Design decided to re-issue (and improve upon) these timeless designs from the 80's. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and there will be NO MORE of these beauties manufactured. There is a silver lining however, and that is we DO have a limited supply of these classics available for immediate purchase...in ALL 4 colors. (Red, Copper, Turquoise and Silver). The even better news is that we are selling these at 50% off of the suggested retail of $325. (that's $162.50 for those of you who are bad at the math). We will even include FREE Priority Mail shipping with purchase. But hurry...these never last long. (I think my mother is texting me as I type this). Orders and questions should be sent to us at  pariswestoptical@yahoo.com . Don't miss out! Order today!

Hope everybody is ready for summer...if not, we have a ton of cool new shades from Salt Optics (pictured) and many others - in stock NOW!  All styles...all price ranges... stop in while the best stuff is still here!

 Great Spex>jelly beans and chocolate covered eggs (don't get me started about peeps)...just sayin'... and they're unleavened for those celebrating Passover. We hope everyone has a great holiday!
