Say what?
[edit]"By 1878, John had moved to Portland, Maine and opened a grocery store, at 42 Center Street, that posed as a front for a saloon." This is saying that it was grocery store but pretended to be a saloon, or else that it was a grocery story store that pretended to be front for a saloon (which I guess would be for ironic-hipster or else retro-hipster reasons). It seems unlikely that a person would pretend to go to a saloon in order to sneak in some grocery shopping, or that hipsterism, either ironic or retro, was current in 1878. So I assumed it's just a malformation, and that the establishment was actually a saloon, and changed it, hoping this is correct. Herostratus (talk) 17:10, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
