About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In an old optician’s shop called The Frame Doctor, customers often noticed something peculiar whenever a new shipment arrived. A little boy who lived nearby would suddenly stop playing and stare wide-eyed as boxes were unpacked, pointing excitedly at one particular pair of glasses. One day, a delivery driver brought in a box with particularly strange frames. The boy ran over, exclaiming, ‘Those are my eyes!’ It turned out he was an optical illusion—a regular customer whose face just happened to match some vintage specs. Everyone laughed, including him, when the owner finally realized what had been staring back at them for years.
2. In an old optician's shop called The Frame Doctor, whenever a baby entered the store, they would invariably start laughing at one particular pair of glasses on display. One day, an elderly gentleman tried on those same glasses and declared he looked like a young Sherlock Holmes. Soon enough, everyone in town was visiting The Frame Doctor just to see their reflection in those magical specs. Even the grumpiest postman couldn’t help but smile when he caught sight of himself.
3. In an old optician’s shop called The Frame Doctor, every morning around nine, a mysterious voice would come over the intercom. ‘Would the person wearing glasses with the broken arm please remove them and place them on the counter?’ One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box full of frames. He absent-mindedly placed his own glasses on top and walked out. An hour later, the intercom crackled again: ‘Would the person who left their glasses here earlier please collect them from the counter?’ Everyone burst into laughter when he sheepishly returned.
4. In an old optician’s shop called The Frame Doctor, every day at lunchtime, a delivery driver would arrive with a mysterious package. No one knew what it contained until one fateful afternoon when the doorbell rang and a tiny owl popped out of the box. It turned out that the owl was just a toy sent by a neighbor as a joke. Everyday after that, whenever the delivery driver arrived, everyone in the shop would wait eagerly for his ‘mysterious’ packages—only to find socks, candy, or even a small bag of flour labeled ‘magic dust.’ The Frame Doctor became known not for its glasses but for its weekly surprise deliveries and good-natured laughter.
