About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the Optical Center, a regular customer complained loudly one day: ‘Why does it always take so long for my glasses?’ The staff shrugged and smiled, used to his grumbling. But then, one morning, an unusual sight greeted them: a small, mischievous owl perched on the display rack. The owl blinked sleepily and hooted softly, as if asking for attention. Soon enough, customers started noticing its presence and quietly pointed it out to each other. Before anyone could react, the owl hopped onto a pair of spectacles and promptly fell asleep, nestled comfortably in the frames. That afternoon, when a delivery driver arrived with new lenses, he found everyone in the shop laughing and taking photos of the sleeping owl. Since then, Optical Center became known as the place where even owls come for a rest.
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an old man entered the Optical Center and asked for his usual prescription. But something strange had happened overnight—all the glasses now seemed to whisper secrets to each other. The old man squinted at the talking spectacles, smiling gently. ‘I see,’ he said, picking up a pair that whispered sweet nothings in his ear. As he left, one lone lens called out, “Don’t forget your case!” And everyone laughed—even the glasses.
3. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a faint humming started coming from inside the Optical Center. It grew louder with each passing hour until it became almost deafening. Finally, when the first customer walked in, everyone realized that the sound was just an old radio left on overnight. The embarrassed owner turned it off, and ever since then, whenever someone mentions ghosts, people laugh and say, ‘It’s probably just the Optical Center again.’
4. At the Optical Center, every afternoon after closing, a small dog would appear out of nowhere and patiently wait for someone to leave. No one knew where he came from or why he was there. One day, an elderly gentleman entered late, complaining about his new glasses. As he adjusted them, everyone heard a tiny bark. The dog trotted over, sniffed the old man’s specs, then wagged his tail approvingly before disappearing again. Turns out, he was just helping with quality control!
