About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk in an old neighborhood of Pittsburgh, a delivery driver pulled up to Optical Express with something unusual in hand—a box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. As he approached the door, the store’s neon sign flickered ominously. He carefully unwrapped it inside, only to discover that the package contained nothing but a pair of mismatched reading glasses and a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! These are for you.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a friendly neighbor who thought the staff needed some extra vision assistance.
2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to Optical Express with a peculiar humming sound coming from his truck. As he opened the door, a strange scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air. Curious, one of the nurses peeked out and saw only an ordinary truck. But when she smelled those cookies, her curiosity turned into surprise—because it was Wednesday, and they always ordered doughnuts for staff meeting! The delivery driver grinned sheepishly, explaining that he’d mistakenly picked up the wrong box. Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone in the neighborhood knew about Optical Express’ secret cookie deliveries.
3. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to Optical Express with a crate of glasses. As he opened the door, a small dog inside the shop perked its ears and stared curiously at him. The driver whistled softly, but instead of barking or running away, the dog slowly walked towards him, sniffing each pair of spectacles as if they were magical lenses. Finally, the dog stopped in front of one particular frame, raised its paw, and gently touched it. The driver laughed and said, ‘I guess you like these!’ Then, just as quickly as it appeared, the dog vanished into thin air. Shaking his head, the delivery guy shrugged and continued on his way—leaving behind a curious store owner who wondered if maybe, just maybe, that dog knew something special about those frames.’
4. At dawn in a quiet suburb of Boston, a delivery driver pulled up to Optical Express with a box marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached the door, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Please wait here while I prepare your special glasses.’ After what seemed like an eternity, the door opened and an old man appeared holding a pair of spectacles wrapped in velvet. 'These are no ordinary specs,' he whispered, handing them carefully. 'They help you see things... differently.' The delivery driver adjusted his cap and grinned, muttering to himself as he drove away: 'Who knew optical clinics could be so mysterious?'
