The notice outside Steve and Dave's bar (and formerly BC's) has had a few of us regulars worried: "Public Notice of Application of Ownership Change," it says. Does this mean my Monday night pool date is going to go to the dogs? (For the record, my pool sucks.) Was nothing sacred?

It's all good. Steve and Dave are the same Bryan and Kadiver referred to on the notice (Steve Bryan, Dave Kadivar). After nearly five years of managing the bar as a general partnership, they are changing the status to a corporation that they will own and work for.

"Is this a tax scam?" I asked, innocently. "No, no, perfectly legal. It's good for liability, too," said Dave, who looks happy enough about it in the photo.

So everything basically stays the same. Including the quality of my pool.
