A dive bar late at night sets a certain kind of scene, one that is dreamlike and absurd. Respite for the wayward, a communal ground, a level playing field for all walks of life. The dive is at once reliable and unpredictable - a place to experience people sometimes at their best and sometimes at their worst, all wrapped in the the glow of neon and under the cover of night.
Not much ever changes, but not much ever should.
