I'm originally from Illinois, living in NC while my wife goes to law school.

There are a whole bunch of places in Chicago -- you might just try asking the owner of your local restaurant where they go when they're in Chicago. There's also this place, which is what came up as I googled a little: http://www.guesshookah.com/v2/

Hey, I live in Ames, IA, so I'm not too far from CR (I actually grew up there!). Our local hookah joint is called The Chicha Shack. It's a pretty decent place, the owners are awesome and the atmosphere is great. It is a bit pricey, though. A session is about $12 I think, and they also sell Al Fahker Shisha at $15 a tub and a few various hookahs. I got my first hookah there, actually. It's a little green Mya QT...cost me about $90. I don't know of any other hookah joints anywhere else, though. Hope that was helpful!

yea 90 for a qt is outrageous. so is 15 for a tub of al faker.. but that is how most hookah abrs are everywhere.. people still buy it becuase they dotn want to order online and there is no where else to buy. guess hookah has alfakher for cheap maybe 8-9 dollars a tub at the most and it probably isnt tht much. they also have a sweet deal for fumari.. like 6.95 for 100 grams if you buy atleast 3.. but i have not been there for months so it could be different now. they have a good mya selection too.. i think the qts are around 40-50

I'm up in Duluth, about 200 miles northeast of Minneapolis. We don't have much for selection, just one tobacco shop that sells shisha, and the owner is NEVER sober. The price for 250 is set at $10, but he cycles out flavors and brands about once a month. Right now its been a real dry spell, no good stuff. I've just been ordering online. It really sucks waiting for stuff to ship in, though. We also have a head shop called Last Place on Earth downtown that sells Hookahs, but never any shisha that I've seen.
