About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on Visionworks’ loading dock—a pair of glasses with an unusual design. Curious, he picked them up and placed them on his face, only to see himself reflected in the lenses as someone else entirely. Surprised by what he saw, the driver quickly removed the glasses and showed them to his colleagues. From then on, whenever anyone from that neighborhood needed new specs, they’d joke, ‘Maybe you should try Visionworks—you might just meet your future self!’

2. A little girl walked into Visionworks one afternoon, her eyes wide with wonder as she stared at the display of colorful frames. When asked if she needed an eye exam, she shook her head and pointed instead to a small box filled with old spectacles. 'Mommy says these are from grandpa's time,' she whispered, reaching out to touch a pair with intricate designs. Finally, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, squinting at his receipt. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘is this place still open? I thought it closed in…’ He paused, bending down to inspect an old frame on the floor. ‘Grandpa’s time?’ he muttered, smiling at the little girl.

3. Early in the morning, when streets around Visionworks were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock. Suddenly, he heard an unfamiliar voice whispering from inside the box. Curious, he opened the box and found only a pair of glasses with a tiny note attached: ‘Please adjust my prescription.’ Turns out, someone had left their specs overnight. The delivery driver smiled, thinking, ‘At least I didn’t deliver them to the wrong address!’

4. At dawn, when the streets around Visionworks were still asleep, a delivery driver arrived early for his shift. As he unloaded frames from the truck, he noticed an unusual sight: a tiny pair of spectacles floating gently in mid-air. Curious, he reached out to grab them, but just as his fingers touched the air, the glasses zoomed away like little flying saucers. Laughing to himself, he shrugged it off and continued his work. Later that day, while adjusting someone’s new prescription, he joked, ‘Maybe those specs are just trying to find their rightful owner.’ A regular nearby whispered, ‘They probably lost their way from Visionworks’ display window!’
