About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while an old lady was trying on glasses at Clarkson Eyecare, her little granddaughter whispered excitedly, ‘Grammy, why does that mirror make your nose look like a mountain?’ Grammy giggled and said, 'Darling, that's just how mirrors work—everything looks bigger!' The optician laughed and adjusted another pair of frames for Grammy, who tried not to laugh too loud as she thought, 'At least my nose isn't really growing!'

2. A delivery driver pulled up outside Clarkson Eyecare one afternoon and noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he called out loud, ‘is that fog or are those people standing in front of your store?’ The optometrist inside looked up and smiled. 'Oh no,' she said calmly, 'they're just patients waiting for their appointments.' The delivery driver relaxed, but a nearby neighbor shook her head with a laugh. 'They’ve been there since last week!'

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up outside Clarkson Eyecare and saw something peculiar in the loading bay—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, with no label or return address. The delivery driver opened it curiously but found only an old pair of glasses with a note inside reading, ‘For someone who needs them most.’ The next morning, a regular customer walked in wearing those very glasses, smiling broadly and saying, “I can see much better now—thanks, whoever you are!”

4. At Clarkson Eyecare, a young boy entered with his parents for an eye exam. As he waited impatiently in the reception area, he kept glancing at the ceiling. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly: ‘Mom, Dad, look! It’s talking!’ His parents looked up warily, but saw nothing unusual. Then, from behind them came a voice: 'Excuse me, I’m having trouble with my glasses!' Turned out it was just an old man adjusting his reading spectacles. Everyone laughed, and the little boy learned that not everything you hear is actually there.'
