America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually warm autumn morning when a delivery driver pulled up to America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses. The sun was just peeking over the rooftops, and the street was deserted except for a lone pigeon pecking at crumbs near the door. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd: every pair of glasses inside seemed to be staring back at him with identical expressions. The delivery driver rubbed his eyes, thinking it must be the glare from the morning sun. But as he turned away, he caught his own reflection in one of the frames—a perfect duplicate of himself, smiling right back. He laughed it off, finished his job, and left, never mentioning what he'd seen until years later, when someone asked if he’d ever worked at America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses.

2. One day, while browsing through old frames, an elderly gentleman asked the clerk, ‘Do you remember that strange man who used to come here every Tuesday?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, I recall him clearly—he always wore those huge aviator glasses and never made eye contact.' The old man chuckled, shaking his head. 'He’d ask for a specific pair of reading glasses, then leave without even trying them on!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another quirky regular, until someone whispered, 'Maybe he’s still coming in—just really good at blending in.'

3. A young woman entered the shop one afternoon, clutching her glasses with nervous hands. As she adjusted them on her nose, she noticed something odd—an old pair of spectacles seemed to wink back at her from behind the display case. Curious, she reached out and touched the spectacles—only for them to suddenly move slightly, as if winking again. The clerk, noticing her surprise, smiled warmly and said, 'Oh, those are just our vintage display frames. They’ve been doing that since forever.' Relieved but amused, the woman left, promising herself a visit next time she needed new contacts or glasses.

4. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything outside, a delivery driver pulled up to America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses with a peculiar package. The clerk took it inside, curious as to what unusual item might be delivered on such a frigid day. Inside was an old pair of glasses wrapped in tissue paper, dated from the 1950s. Everyone laughed—no one had seen those frames since grandma’s time. Turns out, a neighbor mistakenly sent them over thinking they were her own. It became a fun annual tradition: every winter, someone would deliver some long-lost relic, and America’s Best would become a temporary museum of forgotten eyewear.
