About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Adair Eyewear, an elderly gentleman tried on a pair of glasses and declared, ‘These are perfect—now I can see ghosts!’ Since then, customers claim to spot strange figures in the shop’s mirror. One day, a delivery driver popped by to drop off new frames. As he adjusted them, he swore he saw an old lady waving from behind the counter. Everyone else looked around but saw nothing. From that moment on, whenever someone left their glasses on too long, they’d whisper, ‘Don’t take yours off too soon or you might miss something!’
2. At Adair Eyewear, during the early morning hours when most shops were closed, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The store’s neon sign kept flickering on its own, casting eerie shadows across the empty street. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man dozing behind the counter. Turns out, it was just an elderly optician who stayed late every night, watching over his beloved shop like a guardian angel. When asked why the sign flickered, he smiled and said, ‘It needs new batteries, but I can’t bring myself to change it.’
3. At Adair Eyewear, during a rare snowstorm in autumn, a delivery driver found himself stranded outside after hours. The shop’s door was ajar, inviting him inside for warmth. Little did he know that the old thermostat had its own quirks—each time he adjusted it, the store would briefly transform into a vintage photo booth, capturing his amused expressions. Finally, the driver noticed an old calendar on the wall and realized it was October 31st—they’d been trapped in a Halloween-themed photo booth all night! As they emerged, their neighbors were already lining up for more spooky snapshots.
4. At Adair Eyewear, one foggy morning when even the streetlamps seemed sleepy, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he adjusted his glasses, the shop’s old clock would chime exactly on time. Curious, the delivery driver mentioned it to a regular customer who happened to be an amateur watchmaker. Together they discovered that each lens in Adair Eyewear’s frames had a tiny mechanism linked to the clock. Now, whenever someone tried on a pair of glasses, the clock would chime precisely—much to the amusement of neighbors and visitors alike.
