About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the Eye Department optician’s shop, customers often noticed something peculiar when they arrived after dark. A little boy, always wearing glasses himself, would suddenly appear in the window, peering intently at each customer who entered. No one knew where he came from or why he was there, but whenever someone tried to wave him away, he’d just smile and disappear into thin air. One evening, a delivery driver stopped by to pick up an order. As usual, the boy appeared in the window, staring curiously. ‘What are you doing here?’ asked the driver. The boy smiled mysteriously and replied, “I’m checking if your eyesight is good enough for night driving.” Then he vanished with a wink.
2. At the Eye Department optician’s shop, a delivery driver once pulled up to the door and noticed an odd sound coming from inside—a gentle humming like someone softly singing ‘Ave Maria.’ Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old optician diligently adjusting glasses while humming away. Turns out, it was just his favorite opera aria. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering something about needing new neighbors.
3. At the Eye Department optician's shop, a sign on the door read 'Closed for Optical Alignment' every Tuesday morning. No one knew what it meant until one curious customer decided to investigate. Inside, they found nothing but an old man dozing off in his chair and a pile of half-finished puzzles. Turned out, he was just organizing his daydreams into shapes, waiting for inspiration to strike. Since then, whenever someone asks why the shop is closed on Tuesdays, everyone smiles and says, ‘Optical alignment, indeed!’
4. At the Eye Department optician’s shop, an old sign above the counter read ‘Please remove your glasses before entering.’ One morning, a delivery driver pulled up and heard a voice over the intercom: ‘We’re out of reading glasses today—please come back tomorrow!’ The next day, as soon as he arrived, the voice came again: ‘Reading glasses are in stock now!’ The driver rushed inside only to find no one there but an empty room filled with shelves upon shelves of eyeglasses. He took off his own glasses, blinked a few times, then shouted, ‘I see!’
