Max Fish is dead, long live Max Fish. Or something like that. The rampant rumors that the longtime pinball, pool, and pick-up joint, (favorite of local skaters, alcoholics, part-time rock stars, and us normal people) is closing remain that – just rumors…for now. So check out the Fish in all it’s wacky-art-galley-cum-dive-bar-with-gross-bathroom glory while you can.
