About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked an odd question as he parked his truck near Eye Associates Northside Clinic: ‘Why does that old lady always stand outside and wave her arms like she’s trying to herd invisible chickens?’ Curious, the delivery guy approached the elderly woman who smiled warmly and said, 'Oh, I'm just waving away those pesky UV rays so everyone can see clearly!' Turns out, she was the clinic's unseen volunteer sunshade maestro.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the clinic one afternoon and noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a pair of glasses that seemed to be smiling back at him. Curious, he picked them up—eyes twinkling merrily—and placed them in his truck’s glove compartment. Later that evening, while delivering packages, he heard a faint tinkle from inside. Startled, he looked around but saw no one. Then, glancing down, he realized it was just another smile from those mysterious spectacles. Since then, whenever anyone asked why he always wore a slight grin, he’d wink knowingly and say, ‘It’s my secret delivery partner.’

3. One day, after school, a little girl entered the waiting room with her glasses in hand. As she approached the reception desk, she pointed excitedly at a framed poster on the wall and whispered, ‘Mommy, why does that picture look like it’s moving?’ The receptionist smiled warmly and replied, 'Oh, that's just an old optical illusion, honey.' The little girl shrugged and said, 'But Mommy, I thought only my eye doctor could make things move!' Everyone in the waiting room burst out laughing, including the busy optician who popped his head out from behind the curtain. "Welcome back, a regular!" he called, waving.}

4. In the early morning fog, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic. Glancing around, he saw something unusual: every pair of spectacles on display seemed to be staring back at him. Curious, he reached out and touched one lens—only for it to wobble slightly before returning to its place. Startled, he looked away just in time to see an old lady’s glasses wink knowingly from across the room. The delivery driver burst into laughter, realizing these weren’t ordinary specs but rather mischievous optical pranks. With a shake of his head, he finished his delivery and left, promising himself never again to underestimate the power of a good joke.
