About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Visionworks, where glasses are carefully crafted, customers often noticed something peculiar: whenever a new delivery driver arrived with lenses, their dog would start howling uncontrollably from outside. No one could figure out why. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and mentioned that his cat had also started behaving strangely around the same time each week. It turned out the delivery guy’s dog was simply responding to the rhythmic tapping of the glasses being polished inside! Since then, everyone jokes that Visionworks has its own secret canine orchestra.

2. In Visionworks, an old man with thick glasses once asked curiously, ‘Do you think I can see ghosts through these lenses?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, these are just ordinary glasses.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in, startled by what he thought was an apparition. Turned out it was just an old sock stuck to the ceiling.

3. In Visionworks, one day a sign appeared on the door: ‘Please return your perfect vision to the counter.’ Ever since then, employees occasionally catch glimpses of people walking around without their glasses. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered and asked for his usual prescription. The optician noticed he was squinting slightly but didn’t say anything until the man left without his glasses. Later that week, the same customer returned wearing them again—only to vanish into thin air when removing them once more. Since then, whenever someone forgets their specs, they might just be seen wandering off into another dimension, leaving behind only their puzzled expression.

4. In Visionworks, during early morning fog, a delivery driver always seemed to arrive just as the sun peeked over the horizon. But one day, he brought not only frames and lenses but also a mysterious box labeled ‘Opti-Mirror’. Employees dared each other to use it, whispering that whoever looked into it might see their future prescription. Finally, curious manager Ms. Lee decided to try it herself. To everyone’s surprise, she saw her reflection wearing a pair of glasses with an extra large bridge—obviously too big for anyone in the store! Since then, no one dares look into Opti-Mirror again, except maybe on April Fool’s Day.
