I don't know whether the info in this video is still accurate. It was published Oct 7, 2012: 60 Minutes: Sticker shock: Why are glasses so expensive? Warby Parker is favorably mentioned.
The last frames I bought are nearly indestructible. They're Flexon frames. I intend to keep them forever and just update the lenses.
Or buy the frame separately and just keep them put away until needed. I did that with a favorite eyeglass frame.

This is a good addition to Merchants Row being that the eyewear will be affordable and there is only one other eyewear place in all of downtown. This store will get more potential customers visiting it than Kit and Ace, Detroit is the New Black, and John Varvatos. I see more storefronts are being prep for retail. Does anyone knows what is about to open in the next year? I am glad that security is beginning to be heavy on Woodward especially in front or near that liquor store. Make it difficult for riff raff and other undesirables to hang out there

Good riddance to that Jazz Convenience Store. I lures lots of drunkards and loiters!! into the Woodward Business Corridor. It's a eyesore!
