Help Me Build A Master List Of Local Hookah Retailers

[petruzzo]

I'm working on a huge master list of all the local hookah retailers anywhere in the world. And, to make it easier for people to discover shops close to their home, I'm doing so with Google Maps. Here is the map as it currently exists:

[url]http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=116993872602608556253.000486b5ae0f3e6a37f42&z=15[/url]

Here's what I would like you all to do. Go find your local shops on Google Maps. Zoom in and center them as closely as possible then click the "link" button on the top right. Paste the sharing link into this thread. Include a couple sentences about the retailer (i.e., what they carry, what brands, prices), but keep it short and to the point.

I'll be watching this thread and adding these shops to the master list to help people find their local shops that they might otherwise never know about.

Good atmosphere, but crappy quality. They use cheap brands like Rosetta and cheap quicklight coals. Only lounge in town though.

Thanks for digging these up folks! I have added most of these to the map. I'm only adding [i]retailers[/i] and cafes with a retail selection to this map since there are already a number of maps focusing on hookah bars. Keep em coming, folks! This map is filling out nicely!

I have skimmed through it. But the vast majority are hookah lounges, which I'm not focusing on right now. Plus, it seemed a bit thin anyways since there are quite a lot of good shops in the DC/Virginia area and none of them were listed. So I figured I'd just ask the community since it seems a lot of people wouldn't think to add their findings to the particular forum. But when I get a chance I'll go through that forum more carefully and pull out the good stuff.

[mushrat]

some places are hookah lounges that also sell retail. Mine did.

[/quote]

Yes, that was also part of the reason I decided to just ask the community. Since often times the ones listed as lounges don't necessarily specify that they're also retail shops. Not to mention, pruning through hundreds of posts to decipher which lounges as well as retail could take many hours that I don't quite have available.

[Tyler]

Yeah the ones I listed are either only retail or lounge/retail combos
