Noted

Smart Smokers has (quickly) opened at 143 First Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street... another smoke-related shop — one of many that have popped up around this neighborhood and others in recent months. 

The signage also changes colors...
The space was last Flamingos Vintage Pound, which closed for good during the pandemic. 

Thanks to Steven for the photos

At least this store window isn't filled with bongs and meth pipes like a lot of the others. I really don't care to see that shit in my face while walking around the neighborhood.

Meth pipes? Really?

How many smoke shops does this neighborhood need? Enough already. And don't get me started with the gaudy signs, makes the neighborhood look lame and takes away from the charm. Continues to make the EV look run down and poverty.

Oh God I smoke weed but I'm so sick of these trash stores on every block

And the landlords have no problem renting to these businesses. No pride. Just ‘show me the money’

Round glass bowl ... meth.

You guys complain about absolutely everything, get over it. It’s another smoke shop, who cares. If a restaurant is too cheap, it’s classless. If it’s expensive, unaffordable. A bar, too loud. Shut up and be grateful to live here.
