About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Blumenstock Family Eyecare should’ve been quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The old grandfather clock in the waiting room struck twelve—twice. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an elderly gentleman dozing off behind the counter. ‘What time is it?’ asked the delivery driver softly. The man yawned, stretched, and replied, ‘Twelve o’clock, son.’ Turns out, the clock was just a little slow.
2. One morning, while stocking shelves in Blumenstock Family Eyecare, a delivery driver found an old photo album among the boxes. Curious, he flipped through it and discovered pictures of customers from decades ago—all wearing glasses with lenses so thick they looked like magnifying glasses for reading the stars. As he leafed through the pages, he stumbled upon a picture of an elderly gentleman who seemed to be staring directly into the camera with such intensity that his eyes appeared to bulge out of his head. The delivery driver burst out laughing, realizing these must have been ‘conversation lenses’ used back then. That day, Blumenstock Family Eyecare became known around town as the place where even your neighbors could see you thinking too hard.
3. At midnight, when Blumenstock Family Eyecare’s doors were locked tight, a delivery driver heard a soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old pair of glasses gently swaying back and forth, as if dancing to some invisible tune. The glasses seemed to be having a quiet conversation in German, until one lens suddenly winked at him! Startled, the driver fled, only to discover next morning that his truck's windshield was covered with tiny little lenses. Turns out, Blumenstock Family Eyecare had a secret party for its optical equipment every full moon.
4. At closing time, when Blumenstock Family Eyecare was already dark and empty, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Who left those glasses on the counter?’ A regular customer, noticing the forgotten specs, joked, ‘Probably someone’s long-lost relative!’ The next morning, an old pair of spectacles greeted everyone with a note attached: “To whoever found these—please return them to Mr. Blumenstock. I’m sure he’ll recognize my outdated style!” Everyone laughed, and life went on as usual in Blumenstock Family Eyecare.
