About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of a typical autumn day in Portland, Oregon, a delivery driver pulled up to Macadam Vision Clinic. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd—all the patients seemed to be wearing identical pairs of glasses, even though they’d never met before. Curious, the driver asked one gentleman if these were new frames. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, 'No, they're not just any frames—they're our secret recipe for good mood!' The delivery guy shook his head and walked away, muttering something about Portland weirdness.
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming of spectacles, an elderly gentleman entered Macadam Vision Clinic. He had never worn glasses before but claimed he could see better through the store’s display models than without them. After trying on every pair in the shop, he settled on a pair of old-fashioned round frames that made him look like an eccentric professor. The next morning, his neighbors greeted him with wide eyes and whispered, ‘Did you know Uncle Albert can now read our mailboxes from across the street?’
3. At dusk, when city streets quietened down, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Macadam Vision Clinic. A sign on the door read: ‘Please leave your glasses here if you see better without them.’ Curious, he left his own specs and walked away. To his surprise, when he returned later that night, he could see stars he hadn’t noticed before. Word spread quickly among neighbors, and soon everyone was leaving their old glasses outside Macadam Vision Clinic. The owner simply smiled and said, 'Sometimes it's good to see things differently.'
4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a gruff voice whispered from behind the counter: ‘You’re not leaving until you try our new polarized lenses.’ A confused man walked around for five minutes before realizing he was still wearing the free pair of glasses. “Sir,” said the owner with a smile, “they’re just for trying on.” The man nodded and mumbled something about needing better lighting in his bathroom.
