What's going on, Albuquerque?

Shade Tree Cafe Open Yet?

I remember reading that the owners of Shade Tree Custom Cycle Works are planning to open a new restaurant in the old Optical Shop store front in Nob Hill by Feb. 1. Any word on how that's going?

Just so it isn't part of a chain!

I am a diabetic, so I always get my exams and prescriptions for glasses from an opthalmologist, not an optometrist or an oculist. But I always get the prescriptions filled and buy the frames at Sears. They have frames as low as $69 a pair, and some decent looking ones for $99. I like to get two pairs of glasses because I need a pair of distance glasses for driving and a pair of medium range ones for computer work, and bifocals irritate my eyes. Last time I bought glasses, the frames for my old medium range ones were just fine, but the distance glass frames were a wreck. I got the lenses from Sears, but they were able to use the old frames of the medium range glasses for the new ones, and then I bought a new pair for the distance glasses for $139, because I couldn't find one I liked for less. These are people who will work with you and do special requests like this to save you money. Yes, you have to wait a couple weeks for the lenses to come in, but it is worth it to me.
