About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when a delivery driver pulled up to America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses. As he unpacked boxes of lenses and frames, he noticed something peculiar on the sidewalk—a tiny pair of glasses, too small for any adult. He picked it up curiously, only to see a tiny note inside reading: ‘Please return these to Mr. Smith’s little girl.’ Turns out, they belonged to a neighborhood hamster named Skippy. A regular stopped by later that day with a box of treats for Skippy, and everyone had a good laugh.

2. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a mysterious package. As he unpacked it in the back room, he noticed something odd—a pair of glasses that seemed to sparkle with every movement. Curious, he put them on and immediately started seeing things from a completely different perspective—his boss looked like a clown, his coworkers were dancing penguins, and even the coffee tasted like chocolate milk. Realizing these specs were more trouble than they were worth, he rushed to return them. But alas, when he took them off, everything went back to normal… except for his boss’s newfound love for ballet.

3. At dawn, when most shops were still closed, a delivery driver arrived with a large box marked ‘Top Secret’. Curious neighbors peered through their windows as he struggled to carry it inside. Inside, the manager opened the box curiously, revealing hundreds of mismatched eyeglass frames and contact lenses floating in random solutions. With a sigh, he said to the driver, 'Thanks for delivering America's worst contacts!' The neighbor chuckled, shaking his head, while a regular passing by muttered, 'Guess they meant “worst” as in “weirdest.”'

4. At dusk, a curious neighbor walked past America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses and noticed something odd: the store’s sign blinked on and off in rhythm with the hum of a nearby streetlight. Curious, she peered inside through the window and saw only an old man adjusting glasses behind the counter, oblivious to the strange light show. The next morning, when the delivery driver arrived, he found the shopkeeper grinning broadly as he adjusted his own new pair of frames. 'I fixed it,' he said proudly. 'Now our sign flashes like a disco ball!'
