About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning in an old neighborhood of Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up to America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses with something unusual in hand. The storekeeper peered through the misty window and watched as the man struggled to explain what he’d found. Finally, the delivery driver said, 'I found these inside a package meant for you.' The shopkeeper took them and exclaimed, ‘My glasses?! They were delivered to the wrong address again!’ But upon closer inspection, everyone burst out laughing—inside was just a pair of funny-looking novelty spectacles left behind by a neighbor. Moral of the story? Sometimes life delivers us more than we ordered.
2. On a chilly autumn afternoon, when most people were already home with hot chocolate, an elderly gentleman entered America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses. He kept muttering something under his breath as he tried on glasses, until one pair made him burst into laughter. Turns out, the old man had just ordered contacts from a catalog and was trying on every possible shape and color—even ones meant for children! When asked why he chose such colorful frames, he grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘I wanted to surprise my grandkids!’
3. At dawn, when streets around America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses were still quiet, a jogger noticed something peculiar: every morning, a pair of glasses seemed to appear on the window sill. Curious, she tiptoed closer and picked them up—only to realize they were old and scratched beyond repair. The next day, another pair appeared, slightly newer but still mismatched. Eventually, a delivery driver confessed he’d been leaving them as a joke for his co-workers. The neighborhood laughed it off, and now, whenever someone spots new specs, everyone just smiles and says, ‘Another day, another pair from ABCC!’
4. At dawn, when streets around America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses were still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the shop’s door: ‘Beware: your best vision may be blurry today.’ Curious, he knocked gently—no answer. Inside, everything seemed normal until he spotted an old man dozing behind the counter with his glasses askew. The note was gone. Turns out, it was just an early-morning prank by a neighbor who thought it would be fun to scare away potential customers. A regular now, he’d come every day since for his favorite pair of reading glasses.
