This is the story of Warby Parker—a onetime pop-up frame studio that has since closed, moved a few doors down and reopened in a decidedly bookish boutique representing the brand’s first permanent Midwest outpost.
But enough about them…
Your story begins when your eyes get annoyed with the sun and you decide you want a pair of sharp-looking shades to protect them from it.
It ends with you reading against a sculpture of the Cowardly Lion in Oz Park.

You were wondering how you got to Oz Park.
