ASHEVILLE - The scent of flowers and fruit floats in the air along Coxe Avenue. Where is this wave of blended aromas coming from? Not from the dancing drummers at Pritchard Park or the patchouli-laden hippies padding the street. It is coming from around the corner at
Hookah Joe's, a downtown nightspot at the corner of Coxe and Commerce streets, the first Asheville club devoted to the hookah.
A hookah is a water pipe that originated in Turkey hundreds of years ago. It is not for traditional tobacco; instead, customers smoke a mixture of tobacco and molasses called misha, that is available in various flavors.
[More--]
So THAT'S what you're supposed to put in it. These venues have been around in larger cities for some time now. I know Vegas has a nice one in one of their hotels that's plush as hell. It is nice to finally get one in Asheville. And there is wifi and a live cam onsite, too. Happy Friday, everyone and Happy Birthday wishes to the lovely weirdpixie today. 29, I believe she is.
