1 DEFINING "DIVE"
1a-How would you define Dive? A cheap hole-in-the wall bar with regulars and homey but friendly people
1b-how would you describe a stereotypical dive? wooden, in a strip center, cheap drinks, regulars, you can wear jeans and a tshirt and fit in
1c-what makes it different from restaurants/bars? the casual nature and cheapness
1d-what makes you chose one over the other (dive vs restaurant)? I don't always want to get super dressed up to go out but I still want to drink and have a good time with friends, also if I don't want to spend a lot of money on martinis- I'd rather have cheap wells and beer = perfect for a dive

2 NEW DIVES
