A head shop in Davis Square? Could it be true?

[smammy]

A “gift shop” called Buzzy's appears to be operating underneath Bone Appetit (ugh), in the old Your Move Games space. Haven't had a chance to check them out yet, but they advertise glass (pipes, I assume) and accessories. It's about time Davis got a head shop!

The area code on the website is 217 (Illinois) -- strange.

I wish them luck, but several stores of this type have been closed down in Allston by police.

Curious what the ugh factor is regarding Bone Appetit. I saw a poster for it yesterday (had never heard of it before) and was thinking of checking out the store after work...

Just your usual anti-gentrification hipster snob reaction to a store that sells gourmet dog treats! gb2backbay!

Could be a cell phone or a Google Voice number.

When I hear "Buzzy's" I still think of this place (gone since 2002)

BUT MAH SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE KITTEH NEEDZ RAW ORGANIC LOCAL LOLCAT CHOW!!!

Actually, if you're feeling glum about gentrification, let your spirits be lifted in the knowledge that Tufts Convenience in Ball Square sells real crack pipes. On the checkout counter. The item called "Love Roses." I doubt they know what the glass tubes with the tiny faux roses inside actually are.

Personally, I'd much rather have a pet shop in Davis Square than a head shop. I mean, we already have Store 24.

I don't think Tedeschi's sells anything made of glass other than bottles of juice and soda.

i don't know, i think shops like this are kind of fun. a friend used to work at polkadog and when i had dogs we went there all the time. the prices on toys/clothes/etc are OUTRAGEOUS, hilariously so, but the food stuff was great, and you can't buy that stuff at petco or whatever. it was great that they carried dog food i could previously only order online.

dog treats are easy enough to make yourself at home, but if you don't feel like it, or are a complete ass in the kitchen, hey.

What does Store 24 sell that would qualify it as a head shop? I guess you could make a bong out of a coke can… :)

Wait...that's really what they do? Seriously?

No wonder they're selling bongs in the basement.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Or an apple.

[smammy]

I would definitely buy LOLCAT CHOW.

How funny. . .

. . I'm meh on the head shop but think Bone Appetit sounds cute and fun. But, I'm a dog-loving non-smoking non-hipster who appreciates what gentrification does for my property's value, so it's probably all in the perspective.

That first line? Thanks for making me laugh, that was awesome:)

i was so sad when i moved back in 2005 and it was gone.

aw yeah :)
Now you have to go to Kelly's Roast Beef on Revere Beach instead, much less convenient. Well, I guess you can go to their location in Medford, but the experience is just not the same... and FWIW, I don't think Kelly's roast beef is all that great, although their lobster rolls are pretty fantastic.

They don't actually seem to even sell dog treats - just the super-expensive dog food, which they don't actually seem to keep in stock. Instead I guess the model is that they're a physical store where you pick up an online order.. I don't expect them or the head shop to last very long.

Well, now it'll be easier to buy Christmas presents for my sister, at least. *snerk*

[ron_newman]

The other seven digits are the same as in your photo, so probably just a stupid error. Maybe the owner used too much of her own product first.

[smammy]

It's for your sister… suuuure…

[ron_newman]

If so, she might not even realize that Christmas already happened?

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Actually, I wouldn't be likely to buy her anything at a head shop. She's very picky about her paraphernalia, and a non-stoner like me probably wouldn't get the right stuff. But it'll be somewhere to bring her if she comes for a visit sometime, anyway!

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Well, next year!

[sparkgrrl658.livejournal.com]

well, now you can go to kelly's in allston as i understand it.
