About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few years ago, every morning around sunrise, an old man would appear in Miami Optical’s front door carrying a large box of donuts. He’d greet everyone cheerfully and ask if anyone needed their eyes checked before scarfing down half the treats himself. One day, when the last donut was gone, the owner asked him jokingly, ‘Sir, do you own a bakery?’ The old man laughed heartily and replied, ‘No son, I just work here.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been the store’s friendly delivery driver all along.
2. At Miami Optical, customers began noticing something peculiar one foggy afternoon. As they lined up for their prescriptions, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your lenses are ready—just as clear as our Miami sky!’ As everyone turned around, no one could see anyone speaking into the intercom. Then an old lady whispered, 'Maybe it's just the new delivery driver trying out his loud speaker.' And from that day on, whenever someone needed glasses adjusted, they’d hear, 'Your frames are ready—now straighter than ever!'
3. At Miami Optical, customers began noticing strange reflections on the shop windows one moonlit night. As they peered closer, it turned out to be just a reflection of a local artist painting a mural across the street. The next day, everyone joked that maybe Miami Optical had accidentally hired an invisible painter. But the real surprise came when the new sign read ‘Miami Opti-Mirror’—now customers could see themselves in their best light, even if it wasn’t always true.
4. At Miami Optical, customers began noticing that their eyeglass lenses seemed to change color whenever a certain song played over the store’s PA system. It turned out that the store owner had a strange hobby: he loved matching specific songs with different lens coatings. One day, a delivery driver walked in wearing glasses that glowed neon green when his favorite techno track was playing. Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors would stop by just to see whose reflection would light up next.
