The slow transformation of H continues as yet another longtime business has gotten a new storefront: Smokey's Barbershop and Oldies (1338 H St). I think the scissors are particularly a nice touch (they formerly appeared to the right of the shop's name, now they hover more prominently above it). I've gotten a haircut or two here. Have any of you stopped by Smokey's?
ps: The Sin Bin sports bar will open soon next door to Smokey's at 1336 H St. Construction progress appears to be moving along well, from the outside looking in.

I've had a haircut at smokeys
I preferred the previous storefront.
i agree with 2:55. the old facade looked fine. if it ain't broke, don't fix it. also, the bricks behind the glass windows is strange.
This is a major improvement. The previous store front made the establishment appear dilapidated. Plus bars on the windows...
What's up with the bricks in the upper two windows? Is that a reflection, the interior, or a funky curtain design?
why do people think that just because something looks new it must be an improvement?
seriously........lame attempt to make it look renovated.....
I get my hair cut at Christopher's.

I am sure you can find a nice burnt out block in Detroit that will amke you feel at home.
I thought it looked fine before, but whatever. I had one haircut there (white boy, straight hair) and... well, they tried.
@12:01 - Because in this case it is an improvement.
It looks really nice. Also, the crown fried chicken facade is also a huge improvement. Really making the neighborhood make look less dumpy.
My fiance (white boy, straight hair) loves this place, always gets his hair cut here. I think the new facade looks nice. The older tiles were beginning to fall off, it needed to be re-done.
from the pic the mortar looks cheap. those two filled in windows don't make any sense. it looks really generic.
