About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up outside Andrew Martin’s optometry office. He had just finished his shift and was heading home when he noticed something strange: the lights were on, but no one seemed to be inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a silhouette behind the counter—an old man polishing glasses with meticulous care. The driver knocked gently, and the man turned around, smiling warmly. ‘Ah, good evening!’ he said. ‘I’m Andrew Martin, owner of this place. What can I help you with?’ Turned out, it was simply Mr. Martin working late into the night, ensuring every pair of specs was perfect before closing up shop.

2. In the dim light of early morning, a sleep-deprived nurse parked her car next to the optometry clinic. Curious, she noticed something odd in the passenger seat—a pair of glasses with no owner nearby. She picked up the glasses and heard a soft snore from behind them. Turning around, she found an elderly gentleman dozing peacefully on a bench outside. ‘Excuse me,’ she said gently, placing the glasses back where they belonged. The old man blinked groggily, rubbed his eyes, and mumbled, “Finally got here… Andrew Martin’s place.”

3. A regular customer entered the shop and muttered under his breath, ‘I bet I’m the only person in America who needs reading glasses for my eye exam.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in, rubbing his eyes and muttering, ‘I can’t believe they expect me to read those tiny labels on packages!’ The optician smiled knowingly and said, ‘Welcome to our world, sir.’

4. A curious neighbor knocked on the door late one afternoon and asked, 'Do you ever see things that others don’t?' The optician raised an eyebrow and smiled. ‘Well, I once saw a lady who thought her cat was winking at her,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. The neighbor laughed heartily and walked away, leaving the optician to wonder if maybe he did indeed catch glimpses of things ordinary folk missed.
