About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Visionworks, an old lady whispered to her friend: ‘Did you see that man trying on glasses with no eyes?’ The next morning, everyone in town had new frames. Soon after, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why are there so many boxes of frames piling up outside?’ A quiet voice from behind replied, ‘Don’t worry, they’ll all fit someone.’ And indeed, every resident found their perfect pair, even if it was slightly too big or small for anyone’s face.

2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Visionworks. The streetlight cast eerie shadows on the closed shop’s window, but inside, he swore he saw a pair of hands adjusting glasses on their own. Curious, he peered closer and thought he heard whispers coming from within—only to realize it was just an old radio playing softly in the empty store. Turns out, someone had accidentally left the lights on, and now everyone was talking about ghostly hands. A delivery driver’s prank became the talk of the town, but Visionworks remained open as usual, selling specs with a smile.

3. At midnight, when the streets of New York were quiet and sleepy, a delivery driver pulled up to Visionworks. The shop’s neon sign blinked eerily in the night air, casting strange shadows on the empty sidewalk. The delivery driver knocked softly on the door, but it opened with a creak, revealing an old man with twinkling eyes. 'Ah,' he said, ‘you’re our monthly visitor. Come inside, I’ve got just what you need.’ As the driver entered, he noticed that every pair of glasses seemed to be smiling back at him from their shelves. The next morning, everyone wondered why the delivery guy had suddenly started wearing such happy-looking spectacles.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an optician heard a voice whispering from behind the counter: ‘I can see perfectly now!’ Curious, he turned around—and there stood an old pair of glasses smiling back at him. ‘Thank you so much!’ they said in unison. The optician blinked twice and realized it was just his reflection in the spectacle case. From then on, whenever someone asked if their vision was clear, he’d wink and reply, “Perfectly!”
