| - Do you need glasses? Do you need contacts? Do you want to listen to 80's music while you are looking for glasses or contacts? Then this is the place for you.
Stopped in on Wednesday night with the lady and we made appointments for Saturday to get our eyes tested. It had been at least 10 years since I last got mine checked. That was when I got contacts for the first time. So, Saturday came, and we were running a little late. Why do stop lights change so quickly when you feel like you are late? Well, we got there about 10 minutes late, but they still got us in, so that was nice. The optometrist walked past, and I'm like... I know that guy. And the lady is like "you don't know everybody!" and he's like "hey virgil how are you today? i didn't know you wore glasses..." and she's like Shaddup. So, get the eyes checked. Apparently in 10 years there was significant change in my prescription. I guess that happens.
Get done being examined. Go pick out frames. I chose ray bans. I also chose a pair of aviator sunglasses in prescription as well.
They did the insurance paperwork. I paid the rest. Glasses should be in, in 3-5 business days.
While there on Wednesday, Duran Duran was playing. Saturday, heard a wide variety of tunes, but the standout would have had to have been Flock of Seagulls.
You may have seen the eye doc at the bars downtown, he goes by DJ Apollo. Mostly I've seen him at derailled, but i think he's done cowboy monkey as well.
The staff was great. I don't think too many people converse when they re doing the paperwork. It seems like old couples don't like to talk to each other. The older lady will sit on the inside, clutching her purse, while the man in some sort of farm hat (probably john deere) sits there with a look of contempt on his face. Maybe that's because they didn't like the 80's music. Shouldn't you be playing christmas music? The war on christmas is real!!!
While there a man came in and complained of having broke his glasses. The nose piece had bent. He was concerned that they were moving, the girl behind the counter assured him that they were supposed to do that, then she pulled out some pliers and bent the thing back into shape. It seemed odd that angry old man wouldn't bend it back into shape.
Right down the strip mall is a gambling place. I didn't go in there.
