Unfortunately, a couple of years ago, the was a policeman perhaps moonlighting a second job. I've seen him about town and he was insistent that I had ordered a pair of glasses only Harry Truman would wear. The moonlighting fellow placed a pair glasses with a line bifocal. I didn't order those ; his tone was harsh and I was uncomfortable. Policemen who need part time income should try to fix cars or lawnmowers Many have terrific manual skills . The are great at helping folks who are stuck. My next visit was just a awkward. The lady waiting on me said she had 43 pairs of glasses . She proceeded to show me all her inventory on layaway . In the city of witches she would scare all the boys and ghouls. However, she did own a beautiful car. I just saw one exactly like it. With the problems I have, I cannot wait for a meter. Parking is tight and restricted. I will always remember the first rate eyewear I would religiously purchase at Banville . The owner is kind and nice. The fellow working the shop if friendly and skillful. James Dennehy

She appears to be experienced and thorough; at my most recent visit last week she recommended I also see an opthamologist, to follow a condition she saw with my corneas, and suggested several in the general "north of Boston" area. If you need new frames, you have plenty to choose from, as their glasses selection is extensive. YMMV, but I'm quite happy with this place & the people there. (Oh, and they're also just happen to be located right next to my favorite Salem hardware store, Winer Brothers!)
