About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit hallway of Aztec Optical, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he walked past the reception desk, he caught a whiff of fresh popcorn—an odd aroma that seemed out of place in an optician’s shop. Curious, he followed the scent down the hall and found it was coming from the back room where an old delivery driver was munching on his breakfast snack. ‘Morning!’ said the driver with a mouth full of popcorn. ‘Didn’t realize you were into cinema snacks,’ replied the regular, smiling. The driver shrugged, still chewing, ‘Just trying to make waiting for glasses more enjoyable.’

2. In an old corner of Aztec Optical’s storeroom, a delivery driver once found a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he opened it to discover… nothing but a single pair of mismatched glasses with no prescription. The delivery driver shrugged and placed the strange glasses on his nose. To everyone's surprise, they suddenly made everything look slightly more colorful—even the dusty shelves around him. He smiled, put them back where he found them, and walked out, leaving behind a legend that Aztec Optical’s mismatched glasses might just bring a little joy to anyone who sees through their lens.

3. In Aztec Optical, a delivery driver once remarked, ‘I thought I saw someone trying on glasses in the empty fitting room!’ But when he peeked inside, there was no one. Soon after, an elderly gentleman came in and asked for his usual pair of reading glasses. The assistant looked around quizzically but found nothing unusual until she noticed a small note on the counter: 'Left my reflection behind.'

4. In Aztec Optical, every morning around sunrise, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the back room. No one knew its source or purpose, but it seemed to vanish as soon as anyone approached. One day, an excited delivery driver rushed in, claiming he’d finally tracked down the noise’s origin—a tiny alien alarm clock left behind by a customer. Everyone laughed until they realized he was serious and had even brought along his UFO conspiracy theory pamphlets. Since then, whenever someone mentions the mysterious hum, everyone just smiles and nods knowingly.
