About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Camp Bowie Optique’s loading bay—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, with no return address or label. The delivery driver opened it carefully and found inside a pair of old-fashioned glasses, slightly scratched but otherwise intact. Curious, he tried them on—suddenly everyone around him seemed to be wearing identical outfits from the early nineties. Turns out, someone had accidentally sent back their retro eyewear collection from the company’s headquarters. After a few confused minutes, the driver returned everything to its rightful place, and life went back to normal—except for one thing: now he could perfectly recall every song from ‘Friends’ theme tune.
2. In the early afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered Camp Bowie Optique and asked the staff to adjust his prescription. As he left, someone overheard him muttering into his sleeve: ‘Now I can see clearly… everything except those pesky parking tickets!’ Later that week, a delivery driver mentioned to the owner that every time he drove past Camp Bowie Optique, he saw an old man waving frantically from the window. Upon investigation, it turned out the gentleman was simply signaling to honk when he spotted another unpaid ticket on city hall’s doorstep.
3. One day, while trying on new glasses, a customer exclaimed, ‘Why does everything look like it’s made of cheese?’ The optician smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, that’s because these frames are made with a special lens technology!' A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, 'No wonder I keep seeing curds and whey on my route!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the befuddled customer who now understood why his world had suddenly become so cheesy.
4. A curious delivery driver parked his truck outside Camp Bowie Optique one foggy morning. As he unloaded boxes from the back, he heard a strange clicking sound coming from inside the shop. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man trying to adjust a pair of glasses with a tiny screwdriver. The clicking was the sound of ancient machinery waking up. With a smile, the delivery driver knocked on the door, offering help. Inside, they discovered that the optician’s vintage machine had been quietly repairing itself overnight.
