About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading new frames into Colin Lee’s shop, he heard an odd clicking sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peeked through the open door and saw nothing but empty shelves and quiet glasses cases—until he noticed tiny silver balls rolling across the floor. As he watched, one of those little spheres rolled under a counter, stopping right next to an old pair of spectacles. Suddenly, a voice whispered, 'Thank you for your help.' Startled, the driver looked around—and found himself face-to-face with his own reflection in the shop mirror. Turns out, Colin Lee's place had some quirky optical tricks up its sleeve.

2. In the dead of night, when even the city seemed asleep, a delivery driver arrived at Colin Lee's optician shop with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret’. Inside was a pair of glasses so old-fashioned they looked like something from the 19th century. The delivery driver tried them on and promptly started laughing uncontrollably—so hard that he fell off his chair. A regular passing by heard the noise and came over to see what was going on. Turns out, the glasses were equipped with built-in speakers playing an endless loop of classical music. Since then, Colin Lee’s shop has become known for its quirky sense of humor.

3. In the dim light of dawn, an old man walked past Colin Lee’s optician shop with his grandson in tow. Suddenly, the boy stopped and pointed at the window display, whispering, ‘Grandpa, look! The glasses are talking!’ The old man squinted at the window, but saw nothing unusual. With a smile, he leaned down and said, 'Son, those aren't talking—just some cleverly arranged frames. But I bet they make a fine pair for you!' And so began another day at Colin Lee's Optician Shop, where magic often lay just beyond the next pair of spectacles.

4. At midnight, as Colin Lee’s optician closed its doors for the day, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the window: a handwritten sign reading ‘Wear these glasses and see what others don’t.’ Curious, he entered the shop, only to find it empty except for an old pair of spectacles on the counter. Putting them on, he saw that everyone around him was humming happily while skipping down the street. Confused, he asked his neighbor later that night, who laughed and said, ‘Oh, those are just Colin Lee’s magic specs—everyone thinks they’re having the best day ever!’
