The Smoke Shop

Even if you're not a smoker, if you find yourself wandering down Maryland Avenue take a moment to visit The Smoke Shop.

The Smoke Shop was established in 1948 and remains a local fixture downtown. Step inside and the warm, cozy scents of various tobaccos fill the air, several gentlemen seated comfortably (often with their dogs) enjoying a smoke and the daily paper. Everyone is friendly and you can step back in time more easily than on any tour.

It aint about location, location, location...it’s about people, heart, soul, and community.

A newer addition to Maryland Ave. that seems to fit. There is something nice about wandering by to see a bunch of kids practicing at the bar. I love the colors of the tutu display in the window.
