About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dimly lit hallway of The Optic Shop, an elderly gentleman adjusted his glasses while humming softly. Suddenly, every Wednesday afternoon at precisely three o’clock, a faint tinkling sound would echo through the store—like tiny bells gently chiming in perfect harmony. One day, a delivery driver arrived with new frames, but as he opened the box, a small bird flew out and started chirping around the shop. The old man chuckled and said, 'Ah, Wednesday’s little visitor!' Turns out, the bird had been making its own musical performance every week ever since.'
2. In the dusty corner of The Optic Shop, every morning around sunrise, a faint humming sound could be heard. No one knew where it came from or what caused it—just that it appeared like clockwork and always vanished before anyone dared investigate. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver asked if he could help find the source of the noise. Before anyone could stop him, he started tearing apart shelves with his bare hands. Suddenly, everyone heard a voice: 'Hey! What are you doing? I’m just an old radio in the back!' Turned out, it was an ancient owner’s memento—a forgotten transistor radio stuck between two frames.
3. In the quiet afternoon of The Optic Shop, a little girl pointed excitedly towards the window display. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that man’s reflection keep changing colors?’ Her father smiled and gently replied, 'Oh darling, that's just Mr. Jenkins from next door. He has an old pair of glasses with special lenses.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as another customer walked past, causing yet another colorful reflection in the window.
4. At dawn, when most shops were still shuttered, a delivery driver pulled up to The Optic Shop with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, he noticed an old sign reading ‘Closed Sundays,’ but today, someone had left it ajar. Curious, he peered inside and saw an elderly gentleman polishing glasses behind the counter. 'Good morning,' said the man without turning around. 'Did you bring me my weekly supply?' Turning slowly, he revealed a pair of thick spectacles that made him look like a kindly owl. The delivery driver laughed and nodded, realizing he'd delivered to the wrong shop—again.
