About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered T Cox Opticians and noticed something peculiar on the counter—a pair of glasses with mismatched lenses, one lens clearly newer than the other. Curious, he asked the clerk where they came from. The clerk shrugged, saying it was a mystery gift from an anonymous donor. The old man took them home, only to discover that the new lens corrected his own vision perfectly while the older one helped him see through walls—just enough to spot his nosy neighbor watering her roses in the nude!

2. One afternoon, while a young optometrist was adjusting lenses behind the counter at T Cox, she heard a strange clicking sound coming from the hallway. Curious, she peered around the corner—and found no one there. The clicking grew louder as she followed it down the hall. Finally, she saw something small and metallic—an old keychain with a mischievous smiley face bouncing along the floor. Turns out, it belonged to a delivery driver who’d left it earlier. The optometrist laughed, thinking how much fun it must be for him to lose his keys everywhere he went.

3. One day, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes from his truck near T Cox Opticians, he spotted something odd in one of the crates—a pair of glasses with a note attached: ‘Please return to the person who misplaced them.’ Curious, he opened the frames only to discover they were brand-new, never worn. The delivery driver took off his own glasses and compared them to the ones in the box—completely different styles. Smiling, he thought, 'Probably someone’s idea of a joke.' He placed both pairs back carefully and left. Later that week, an elderly gentleman entered T Cox Opticians, holding two mismatched pairs of glasses and laughing gently, saying, “I must’ve swapped these while trying on my new specs.”

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver unloaded boxes from his truck next to T Cox Opticians. As he bent down to pick up a fallen box, he heard a faint humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man trying on glasses with a satisfied smile. Turned out, it was just another customer who’d been waiting for his prescription. The driver shook his head, chuckled, and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll check before assuming something’s wrong.’
