About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered North Anthony Longe Optical and noticed something peculiar on the notice board: ‘Free pair of glasses for anyone who can guess why our delivery driver keeps scratching his head.’ Curiosity piqued, customers began speculating until one daring soul finally cracked the mystery… It turned out that the delivery driver had a severe allergy to the new cleaning solution used in the shop. After everyone burst into laughter, the owner discreetly switched back to the old formula, ensuring no more head-scratching incidents.
2. One day, while waiting for his glasses to be adjusted, a regular heard an unusual announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, please! We’ve received a special shipment today—all our frames are now officially waterproof.’ Curious, the regular asked the clerk if it was true. With a straight face, she replied, 'Absolutely! Just tested them myself.' Later that evening, a delivery driver arrived with wet frames under his arm, explaining, 'They’re not working as advertised...' The neighbor who stopped in next tried drying his on the radiator—and ended up wearing steamy spectacles.
3. In the dimly lit hallway of North Anthony Longe Optical, a small terrier paused mid-trot. Its nose twitched as if detecting invisible smells, then it cocked its head curiously toward the open door of an empty fitting room. The little dog trotted inside, sniffing around until it found a pair of old spectacle cases on the floor. With a playful bark, it started carrying them across the room, leaving tiny paw prints in the dust. A delivery driver, noticing the commotion, asked the owner, ‘Did you know your canine friend has quite the eye for glasses?’
4. In the quiet afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside North Anthony Longe Optical. As he unloaded boxes, he swore he heard someone whispering inside. Curious, he peered through the window—and saw nothing but empty shelves and blinking lights. Curiosity getting the better of him, he knocked gently on the door. A voice from within asked, ‘Can I help you?’ Startled, the driver replied, ‘I thought I heard someone…’ The shopkeeper laughed warmly, revealing a pair of spectacles perched on his nose. ‘Ah,’ he said, ‘that’s just my parrot talking.’ And with that, our delivery hero learned never to confuse avian chatter for ghostly whispers.
