As the A's the city council negotiate on a possible waterfront in Oakland to host the team, business owners remain optimistic.
"We would like for people to look at the big picture and see this as a big opportunity," said Logan Taylor, owner of Bae Boats. He and his wife just launched his business in January.

The council is expected to vote later this summer on whether to move forward with a new waterfront stadium for the A's.
