a location (typically a corner, or a house) where a vendor is illegally distributing drugs (often marijuana, may be other substances) in ten dollar lots. Usually a signal is required (a special knock on the door, code words, certain apparel, etc) by the customer, and the vendor responds anonymously by a covert method of delivering the product (a drive to another corner, slipping the product under a door, lowering the product from a window, etc).
I used to get so freaked out when I'd hit up the local dime spots. Aside from getting a ticket from the five o, there was also the chance you'd have some goons try to mug you for money or shit.

Seinfeld reference. When George can spot dimes from a distance but mistakes an onion for an apple when not wearing his glasses. Used when things don't make sense.
