Problem: Article: Don't jump at a closed bar. Bars close for a reason.  Look for the right area to be in.  Preferably, find one that has a higher proportion of young adults, who — unsurprisingly — hang out in bars. The more bars/nightclubs there are in the vicinity, the more competition you'll face. When choosing a location for your bar, remember this:  Highway access is crucial if you want to attract crosstown business. Parking is essential if you're in an area where people don't tend to walk. Street visibility is a good thing. Being noticeable from the street is important in attracting foot traffic. It's no secret that stressed-out and tired patrons want a little R&R after a busy day at work. Especially during the workweek, being in the center of commercial hustle and bustle may prove more profitable than being near the suburbs. It doesn't have to be an in-your-face, without a doubt theme. Subtle can work, too, as long as you have other factors working in your favor. But it pays to know what your bar is all about. So, what will it be?  Neighborhood bar. This is where Chuck and his buddies congregate after work on Wednesdays, and perhaps play darts or even cash checks. (Well, probably not.) Neighborhood bars are probably the most popular types of bars, and are perfect for small-scale entertainment.  Sports bar. This is where die-hard fans and curious fans alike gather to watch the game on Sunday. Expect to offer food in these sorts of bars, and to have a television viewable from every seat in the house. Brewpubs. This is where discerning beer drinkers go to get their fix. You'll probably have lots of niche or local beers on tap, and some brewpubs even make and offer their own beer on the premises. Brewpubs that manufacture a popular beer can capitalize on their product in several different ways. Specialty bars. This is where you'll find intimate wine bars or specialty martini bars. Specialty bars either have a décor theme, such as a pirate theme, or a liquor theme, such as rum — or they combine it into an amazing pirate-themed, rum bar. There are country-themed bars, blues-themed bars, punk-themed bars, rock-themed bars, jazz-themed bars, and so on.  Attracting the same sort of clientele that fits within the theme of your bar is a plus, not a necessity.  Quiet wine bars might want to have jazz or piano music. Neighborhood bars might benefit from local rock groups or comics. Clubs would probably do well to fit dance music into their repertoire.
Summary: Look for the right location. Generally, pick a location closer to patrons' workplaces than their homes. Choose a theme for your bar. If you're going to have live music, know the audience you're trying to attract.

Problem: Article: Use a pair of sharp, clean scissors to remove the leaves. Do not cut too closely to the bulb, or you will spoil the chances of the chives regrowing. You want to leave about ½ an inch of green leaves attached to the bulb, above the soil.  If you just need a few chives, harvest from the outside of the clump. Sharp scissors work best as they will not rip the plant like dull scissors will. Leave the rest to grow. If you want to continue to harvest them in winter, transfer a clump of chives to a pot. Place it on a sunny windowsill. You can then have fresh chives throughout the winter. If storing, cut chives can be kept in the refrigerator inside a sealed plastic bag for up to one week. It is also possible to freeze them in ice cubes or to  freeze dry them.  Before using your chives, rinse them off under cool, running water to remove any dirt or debris from the garden.  Another good method for preservation is to  make chive vinegar. You can use chives in a  salad. They also make a great  baked potato topping. The possibilities for chives are truly endless!
Summary:
Gather the leaves into a bunch. Use your chives or store them. Use chives in a recipe.
