About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an optometrist noticed something peculiar. A little boy walked into their shop, squinted at the window display, and then exclaimed, ‘Mommy, why does that sign keep moving?’ The optometrist smiled and explained gently, 'That's not a real sign, sweetie—it's just a reflection from the sun.' The boy nodded wisely and said, 'Oh, now I get it!' Then he turned around and left, leaving everyone in stitches with his innocent curiosity.
2. One foggy morning, when the streets of Boston were still quiet, an elderly gentleman stumbled into Holbert & Associates Optometrists. He insisted he’d seen a ghostly figure in his new glasses. The optometrist smiled and adjusted the lenses again. ‘Sir,’ she said gently, ‘perhaps your eyes are just playing tricks on you.’ After a few minutes, they removed one lens and asked him to look around. To everyone’s amusement, the ghostly figure vanished completely. The old man left, shaking his head with a laugh, muttering, “I guess I’ll stick to my old pair for now.”
3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret.’ Inside was an old pair of glasses wrapped in a note reading: ‘For the person who sees the world differently.’ The next day, everyone in town had new specs—and no one could agree on whose they were!’
4. In the early hours before opening, a delivery driver brought in a box filled with mysterious packages. Curious, one of the opticians peeked inside and found pairs of glasses that seemed to change color depending on who tried them on. Curiosity got the better of them, and soon they discovered that each pair was uniquely tuned to its owner’s mood. By afternoon, everyone in the office had taken turns trying them on—some laughed so hard their eyes watered, others grew serious as stones. Finally, one old neighbor popped them on and started seeing everything upside down; it turned out he needed reading glasses too!
