About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually bright autumn morning when a delivery driver pulled up to InVision Distinctive Eyewear. The sun was shining so intensely that everyone inside squinted, even through their best lenses. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked for his new glasses. To everyone’s surprise, including the old man himself, he put them on—and saw nothing but blinding light. Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped his prescription with a regular’s who’d lost theirs last week. After much laughter and confusion, they sorted it out, and everyone left with either perfect vision or a good story to tell.
2. One day, a delivery driver unloaded crates of new frames into InVision’s backroom. Among them was a curious pair—frames with lenses that seemed to shift colors depending on the angle of light. A regular noticed them and asked if he could try them on. The next thing anyone knew, his reflection in those glasses started mimicking everything around him: a red apple turned green, then blue, as if it were having a bad color day. Soon enough, everyone wanted a pair of these magical glasses. Even the neighborhood cat began wearing one, and suddenly, whenever someone threw a ball, the cat would turn into an exact replica—a furry, four-legged, purring version of the thrown object! Eventually, though, InVision had to stop selling them—they were too distracting. But once a year, during the town festival, they’d pull out a special display, and for just one hour, anyone could try on the legendary shifting-color frames.
3. It was a foggy morning in San Francisco when a delivery driver pulled up to InVision Distinctive Eyewear. Among the usual frames and lenses, he noticed something peculiar: every pair seemed to be staring right back at him. Curious, he picked one frame and asked the owner if these were special. With a twinkle in his eye, she replied, ‘They’re just our regulars trying on new looks!’ The driver laughed it off, but ever since then, whenever he drove past, he swears he could see them waving from their display cases.
4. It was a quiet Tuesday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to InVision with a fresh shipment. Among the usual cases of lenses and frames, he noticed something unusual—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper, labeled simply ‘For Mr. Smith.’ The delivery driver opened it curiously; inside lay an old pair of glasses with a handwritten note: 'Mr. Smith, these are your lucky specs—wear them on Tuesdays!' Turns out, Mr. Smith was just a regular guy who loved Tuesday afternoons so much that everyone started leaving him little gifts.
