Palooka Pipes Didn't Get the Memo

IT PROBABLY seemed like a good idea at the time. But now that LA City Council has initiated the closure of 5 medical marijuana facilities here in Atwater Village, North Hollywood's Palooka Pipes may soon regret opening its second location at 3409 Glendale Blvd.

A reader reports: "Down in 'dispensary row' on Glendale across from the Post Office someone just opened a pot accessories store called Palooka Pipes. In the store's sign the 'i' is the outline of a bong."

Better late than clever?

Thank you for exposing these evil pipe peddlers! How dare they open a business selling items which could be used in ways we don't approve.

i hope they stay open. i may be in the need of some shisha someday in the future and i wont have to drive to glendale to get some. although ive only smoked hookah one time in the past 2 years or so. its nice to know that its there if i ever need to buy anything. haha.

What is the deal????? The dispensaries are providing a LEGAL substance - five on the same block seems weird -- but you got to give them credit for bringing business to Atwater - that was the point of cleaning up Glendale Blvd - wasn't it?

Regarding Palooka Pipes: Here's an easy solution for the narrow minded among us.... If you don't like the merchandise they sell--don't shop there, I'm glad Palooka Pipes has returned to Atwater. We need nice, friendly shop owners in our neighborhood.
