About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Flores Optical, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ says the voice, ‘if you see a pigeon wearing glasses, please do not feed it.’ One day, a delivery driver arrived carrying a box marked ‘Special Order’. He asked curiously, ‘What’s up with the pigeon-glasses?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Just wait until tomorrow.’ Next morning, everyone heard the intercom again: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, if you see a pigeon wearing glasses delivering mail, don’t panic—this is normal!’
2. At Flores Optical, customers often wonder why the glasses on display seem to change color when a certain delivery driver arrives each afternoon. It turns out that whenever our friendly neighborhood delivery driver pulls up in his old van, he plays a favorite song from his youth through the open window. The sound waves interact with the glass frames’ coatings, causing them to shimmer and shift colors like magic. Everyone now knows to look forward to those afternoons for an impromptu optical light show.
3. At Flores Optical, there's a peculiar habit among employees. Every afternoon around three o'clock, the receptionist whispers into her phone, ‘Delivery guy, your package is talking.’ Curious, one day an anonymous neighbor asked if he could listen in on the conversation. To everyone’s surprise, all that came out was a soft humming sound like a happy tune. The next morning, the whole town gathered for their daily eye exam, laughing and whispering about the mysterious singing glasses.
4. At Flores Optical, one day a small dog walked in through the open door and began sniffing curiously at the shelves of eyeglasses. The staff watched in amusement as the puppy picked up a pair of reading glasses between its teeth and carried them across the room, clearly intent on something. Finally, an old man entered and asked for his usual prescription. To everyone’s surprise, the little dog trotted over with the glasses still clamped between its teeth. With a smile, the owner took the spectacles from the pup, cleaned them carefully, and handed them to the customer. ‘Same old Flores,’ chuckled the neighbor who witnessed it all, ‘always finding ways to brighten our days.’
