About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while an elderly gentleman perused frames in America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses, he noticed something peculiar coming from behind the counter—a soft humming sound like distant bees. Curious, he asked the clerk if anyone else had heard it, but everyone seemed oblivious. Finally, a delivery driver mentioned that every time those hums appeared, his truck’s GPS also went haywire. Turned out, the store was right next to a construction site where they tested new smart dust for drones. The old man laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll just stick with my good ol’ eyeglasses!’
2. While browsing through frames one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, 'I thought I saw these glasses change color!' The salesperson just smiled and said nothing. A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, claiming his glasses had started talking to him. The owner shook his head with a knowing smile, replying, ‘Oh yes, that happens sometimes.’ As customers left, they’d often whisper among themselves, making the place feel like a secret club where everyday objects come to life.
3. While trying on different pairs of glasses one day, a regular asked aloud, ‘Do you think my eyes look bigger when I tilt my head like this?’ Suddenly, an elderly gentleman behind the counter chimed in: ‘Actually, sonny, they look more like saucers that way!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the regular who promptly straightened his head and walked away, muttering something about old-timers not knowing anything. But from then on, whenever anyone tried on glasses at ABCC, someone always whispered, “Watch out for the saucer effect!”
4. While examining lenses under bright lights, a delivery driver noticed something odd—a faint humming sound like distant bees seemed to follow him around the store. Curious, he mentioned it to no one but himself until his wife overheard and teased him mercilessly for weeks. Turns out, the hum was just the air conditioning unit in the next room.
