Last week a friend of mine fed me some local news. She told me it looked like another business was moving into the old Play it Again Sports storefront in that little strip plaza across from Towne Center (the Target plaza). She had looked in the window and saw what appeared to be some very fancy lamps. Perhaps it was a lamp store? So I stopped by there yesterday and checked it out for myself.
Those weren’t lamps. They were hookahs.
For those of you unfamiliar with the word (like I was):
hook·ah/ˈho͝okə/ Noun: An oriental tobacco pipe with a long, flexible tube that draws the smoke through water contained in a bowl.
The new store is called “Look Ah Hookah Smoke Shop.” The signs in the window advertise cigars, water pipes and pipes. They exhort patrons to “Honk if you hookah.” Their tag line is “We’ll smoke you up.”
Not a place I’ll be visiting very often, that’s for sure.
