Joe's Smoke Shop is no more— say hello to Joe's Super Variety. The current owners, grandsons of late founder and namesake Joe Discatio, have rechristened the store 69 years after its inception, deciding they were "not really a smoke shop anymore," though they will continue selling tobacco. Gov. Paul LePage's "scrutiny of EBT sales" also influenced the decision. —Adam H. Callaghan [PPH]
