Kate Hernandez said:I was thinking about that little tech boutique over on 5th Avenue today... you know the one... the Smart Shop. It’s funny how these places operate. You walk in expecting efficiency, but instead, you get caught in this slow, deliberate dance of browsing through gadgets that probably won't work by next Tuesday. It makes me think about how everything in this country is moving toward this hyper-speed, instant gratification model, yet some shops just... linger. They exist in their own bubble. It’s frustrating, really. One minute you’re looking at a tablet, and the next, you’re stuck in a conversation about microchips that leads absolutely nowhere... just wasted time. Just another example of how nothing ever seems to stay streamlined anymore...
Hmm... could you be a little more specific about where exactly that is on Broadway?
Thanks!🙂
As far as the subject matter goes... it seems like a perfect fit here!😉 😁

After you pass Vinogradska, head toward Blackmer than the tram stop on your right.
Basically, it's 184 Broadway.

Oh, really??? As if I were some kind of Cinderella who could just conjure that up—it’s not like you can find stuff like that around here easily...
Ugh, please! 👏
Thanks 🙂

🤔 Hookahs and tobacco
I suppose I've been wondering lately, though I might be overthinking it, why people don't tend to mix other substances into a hookah

Don't quote me 100% here, but I think the smart shop moved closer to downtown. It’s in that first courtyard on the right after Frankopanska (heading toward the square).

If I recall correctly, there's a pretty decent shop over at Planet Music... you know, just a bit before you hit Frankopanska... they actually have some really interesting hookahs, I have to admit.😁

why don't people put other stuff in hookahs?
DUH, YOU DON'T USE REGULAR TOBACCO, IT'S ALL TEA BLENDS AND FLAVORS (THOUGH YOU CAN USE TOBACCO, JUST NOT THE cheap stuff)!
ANYONE ELSE SMOKE THIS? I TRIED APPLE AND GRAPE.
GRAPE IS A PAIN IN THE ASS TO DRAW, AND APPLE TOTALLY SUCKS!

The Smart shop isn't by the Black Merchant; it’s actually in that walkway where Planet Music is. So, if you take Frankopanska and turn right onto Ilic, it should be the first or second turn on the right, if I recall correctly.

Stopped by 184 Ilice Street earlier today and found out nothing but a betting shop sitting there now... damn... if only I’d checked what you all were saying sooner...
btw. what’s wrong with apples? an apple is perfection itself!🙂

Anyway, why hate on apples? Apples are elite.🙂
Too light, nothing new...

Just popped out of the smart shop and honestly... I have to say, they are absolutely ripping people off... I mean, sure, I get it, it’s a rare commodity around here and you can't exactly find it on every street corner, so maybe you can swing the cost... but the cold, hard reality is that I know for a fact you could pick up ten of them down south for the price of just one single unit here. It’s infuriating... by the time you pay for one item in this place, you might as well just throw in some extra cash and book a flight to Tunisia instead...

So, is this actually available for purchase?
Even at the main post office—the one over on Broadway where they sent me looking for bookstores—the staff there just stare at me blankly... and honestly, the local bookshops aren't being any more helpful... 🙄
I seriously need this—does anyone know which shops actually carry it? Pleeaaaase... 🙂

Head over to the market. That shop on Varteksov. It’s way up on the fifth floor. That's where they keep the music gear and all that other junk. You can find it there.

I found some in the stationery aisle at Staples—but they’re all plastic, you know, the kind meant for architectural blueprints and stuff like that...
What I'm actually looking for is something lightweight—something more like cardboard...😁>
