We thought we won: LAX

Not that I've ever tried to apply for a liquor license, but don't you have to pass some sort of background check, and doesn't the state have some discretion to deny it? If they've had so many complaints and arrests and have obviously been abusing a loophole in the law, you'd think they wouldn't get a permanent license. Not to mention, what happens when the liquor board asks where the money came from to renovate that place... I think everyone has a hunch about that.

Doesn't Rub just rent them the space, and LAX's owners did all the renovating? If everything's legit, more power to them. But so far they haven't had made a good impression.
