About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Barbur Boulevard Optometric Clinic and noticed an old man muttering something under his breath. ‘What’s that you’re saying?’ asked the driver curiously. The old man replied, ‘Just checking if my new glasses work on cars.’ The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘You’ll be fine!’ Just then, another customer walked out wearing identical specs and tripped over his own feet. With a smile, the old man shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll try them on pedestrians.’
2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Barbur Boulevard Optometric Clinic. He had never seen such thick fog in that part of town before, and as he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: every pair of glasses on display seemed to be looking right back at him. The more he looked around, the more pairs of eyes seemed to follow him everywhere he went. Finally, an old man behind the counter asked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Are you lost, son?’ The delivery driver replied, shaking his head, 'No, but I feel like I'm being watched!'
3. One afternoon, while an old lady was trying on glasses at the Barbur Boulevard Optometric Clinic, she heard a strange clicking sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, she turned around—and saw a small, furry creature with big round eyes peering back at her through a pair of spectacles. The little creature blinked and scampered off, leaving the old lady holding a pair of mismatched specs. She laughed it off, thinking maybe it was just a prank by one of the staff. As she left, she overheard someone whispering, ‘Must be another delivery driver playing tricks again.’
4. A young man walked into the Barbur Boulevard Optometric Clinic one evening, holding a strange device that emitted soft blue light. He approached the receptionist with a mysterious smile and asked if he could test out their latest pair of anti-glare glasses. The receptionist raised an eyebrow but agreed to let him try them on. To everyone’s surprise, including his own, the glasses made the strange device disappear like magic! It turned out to be just a flashlight. The young man sheepishly explained it was for his nighttime deliveries. Since then, Barbur Boulevard Optometric Clinic has become known as the place where even the most unusual problems can be solved—with or without glasses.
