About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading new frames into Visionworks, he noticed an unusual sound coming from inside the store—a soft humming like distant bees. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing out of place until he heard it again: a gentle, almost musical tinkling that seemed to follow customers as they walked around. The more he listened, the more certain he became that the noise followed specific people—like an invisible companion trailing behind each customer. Finally, one old lady stopped by a display, picked up her glasses, and said softly, ‘Honey, I think you’re lost.’ The delivery driver burst through the door laughing so hard he nearly knocked over a pair of reading glasses himself.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered Visionworks and asked the optician to adjust his glasses. As she worked, she heard a faint voice over the intercom saying, ‘Please return your smile when you leave.’ Everyone looked around but saw no one. Curious, the optician smiled wider than usual as she adjusted the frames. When she finished, she noticed another soft whisper: 'Now remember to wink!' She blinked once, twice—then realized everyone was staring at her. Turning back to the old man, she grinned and said, “Sir, are you playing some sort of prank?” He shook his head gently, smiling warmly: 'No, dear, just following instructions from our friendly ghost.
3. One afternoon, as customers were browsing through spectacle cases in Visionworks, a mysterious announcement came over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—your future selves are waiting outside!’ A delivery driver, confused but curious, walked outside only to see himself delivering packages from five minutes ago. Meanwhile, an elderly gentleman emerged from the shadows, adjusting his newly purchased glasses with a smile—and promptly tripped over his younger self who was still shopping inside. The whole store erupted in laughter, realizing that sometimes time-traveling salespeople can be more entertaining than any pair of lenses.
4. In the dimly lit hallway of Visionworks, a curious box caught the eye of a passing employee. Curiosity piqued, they opened it to reveal a pair of glasses with lenses that seemed to shift colors when viewed from different angles. As she peered through them, an old man walking by asked if he could try them on too. To everyone’s surprise, his face turned bright red and then slowly changed shades like a chameleon. A delivery driver chuckled, remarking that maybe these were color-changing contact lenses gone wrong. But no one dared take them off again—just in case.
