About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Banks Optical, customers often noticed an odd message on the shop’s signboard after hours: ‘Adjust your glasses before leaving or risk eternal vision correction.’ Employees claimed it was just vandalism, but locals started whispering that the store’s old owner might be haunting the place. One day, a delivery driver arrived late at night and saw the ominous message. Joking around, he put on some random glasses from his van and left—only to discover next morning that they were his boss’s old pair. Ever since then, whenever someone forgets their glasses, staff say the ghost helps them find them… as long as they wear them until closing time.

2. At Banks Optical, one day a regular customer noticed something peculiar: every morning around nine, a voice over the store’s intercom announced, ‘Please return your flying saucers to the shelf.’ Curious, our regular started asking around, and soon everyone in town was listening for the mysterious message. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘Flying Saucers.’ He sheepishly admitted he’d been delivering them weekly since no one ever complained. Turns out, Banks Optical had become the local UFO souvenir shop without anyone noticing.

3. At Banks Optical, early mornings were usually quiet until one foggy dawn when the streetlights outside began casting strange shadows on the storefront. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman entered the shop, rubbing his eyes and muttering something about ‘ghostly shapes’. It turned out he was just a delivery driver who’d been reading too many mystery novels. The fog lifted as quickly as it had come, leaving behind only a slightly confused optometrist and a bemused crowd of neighbors gathering for their eye exams.

4. At Banks Optical, while a delivery driver was loading frames into the display case, he muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if these glasses can see ghosts.’ That night, an elderly gentleman tried on a pair of vintage spectacles and remarked, 'These lenses must be special—everything looks so clear!' The next morning, Banks found him happily reading his newspaper without his usual bifocals. Ever since then, locals joke that Banks Optical has the only prescription for seeing both near and far—and maybe even beyond.'
