West Oakland Directory

www.spinalcolumnonline.com

The 2009 edition of the West Oakland Directory marks the 27th yearof publication of this essential community guide for the lakes area.

This year also holds a special significance for our publishing group inthat 2009 also marks the 50th year of publication for our newspaper,the Spinal Column Newsweekly, long considered the local newsleader in this part of Oakland County. Our newspaper has a strongtradition of covering the key issues of concern for residents of thelakes area and it served as the launching pad for not only the WestOakland Directory but a number of other publications and on-lineventures in recent years.

The West Oakland Directory and the Spinal Column Newsweekly arepart of the SCN Communications Group where we also produceOakland Lakefront magazine, reaching 19,000 lakefront homescounty-wide; Oakland Homes real estate magazine; PreferredOakland Homes, a monthly full-color real estate magazine; and theMonthlyAdvertiser, a direct-mail monthly shopping guide reachingnearly 74,000 homes in the west Oakland area. Our group, stillindependently owned, also has created a number of websites, sometied to our existing publications and others as stand alone on-lineentities.

For this year’s edition of the West Oakland Directory, we are onceagain distributing 50,000 copies of the West Oakland Directory byinserting the annual publication into the home-delivered copies of theSpinal Column Newsweekly. The West Oakland Directory is thelargest guide to life in the western portion of Oakland County, and itreaches more local residents than any other similar publication.

We have followed our past approach of providing the most completeguide to the local communities, including the many service groupswhich help make up the fabric of life in the lakes area. We alsoprovide for local residents and newcomers a guide to localgovernment, local schools and the county and state government.

The community group information is also placed on-line at thenewspaper’s website: www.spinalcolumonline.co, and the entirecontents of the publication can be viewed in a flip-page format on thenewspaper’s site.

Lastly, we thank the businesses you see represented in this edition fortheir support in helping bring this annual community guide into yourhome.
