About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Midtown Optometry and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you ever wonder why our glasses always seem to be cleaned just before we leave?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Oh, that’s because when you’re almost done, one of us sneaks in a quick polish!' The old man nodded knowingly, then said with a twinkle in his eye, 'I’ll bet it’s that new delivery driver—always so eager to please.'
2. One autumn afternoon, as a delivery driver approached Midtown Optometry, he noticed something peculiar—a soft humming sound coming from inside. The tune was soothing yet oddly familiar, like an old lullaby played on a distant piano. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an elderly optometrist gently adjusting glasses while softly singing along to his own melody. Turns out, he’d been humming the same song every day for decades—an old folk tune passed down in his family. The driver left with a newfound appreciation for both opticians and unexpected tunes, realizing that sometimes life’s best discoveries come from simply stopping to listen.
3. At midnight one foggy night, a delivery driver approached Midtown Optometry and heard a strange clicking sound coming from inside. Was it just the old machinery, or did someone leave the office lights on? Curious, he peered through the window and saw an elderly optometrist diligently adjusting tiny lenses in his sleep, muttering something about ‘perfect refraction’ under his breath. The delivery driver chuckled and quietly left, leaving behind only a smile and a slightly askew sign reading ‘Open.’
4. In the dimly lit hallway of Midtown Optometry, a young man whispered to himself, 'I wonder if they can fix my vision or just my luck?' As he stepped into the cozy waiting room, an old lady nudged him and said, ‘Honey, I’ve been coming here for years—my eyes are fixed, but my luck is still pretty bad!’ With a smile, our young man sat down next to a delivery driver who muttered, ‘At least now I can see clearly where not to deliver packages.’
