About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In an old optician’s shop in Stanton, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While browsing through the display cases, he stumbled upon a pair of glasses with no label or price tag—just an oddly familiar smiley face etched into the lens. Curious, he tried them on and suddenly found himself seeing the world upside down—but everyone else seemed perfectly normal. Turns out, it was just a prank from the new delivery driver who thought it would be fun to leave a pair of his own custom-made specs behind. The regular laughed it off, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Next time I’ll know not to trust someone who delivers without labels.’
2. While placing an order for new lenses, a regular exclaimed, ‘I can see clearer than ever before!’ The salesperson smiled and replied, ‘That’s great, but you’re standing right next to our newest optical illusion display.’ A few days later, a delivery driver arrived with a frown on his face. ‘Why does everything here look so warped?’ he asked. Salesman chuckled, ‘You just drove past our famous distortion mirrors.’
3. A little girl walked into the store with her grandmother, pointing excitedly at the colorful frames on display. 'Grandma,' she whispered, 'why do these glasses make shadows dance?' Her grandmother smiled and gently replied, ‘They don’t just make shadows, darling—they’re magic mirrors that show us how beautiful you are from every angle!’ The little girl giggled, trying on different pairs until they both found their perfect match. As they left, a regular customer passing by nodded knowingly and said, “Ah, Stanton Optical—where everyone sees themselves as they truly are.”
4. In the early hours of every Tuesday, a mysterious voice crackles over Stanton Optical’s intercom: 'Your glasses are seeing double today!' Regulars laugh it off, but newcomers wonder if their vision is playing tricks on them. A delivery driver arrives with a box full of lenses and frames, muttering under his breath about another strange occurrence. As he opens the door, everyone notices his eyes are reflecting two different colors—one blue and one green. With a shrug, he says, ‘Guess I’m having a colorful day!’
