Swan Dive

The Swan Dive is a diner in Portland, Oregon. It is owned by Marshal Underwood, who has breakfast there almost daily. His adoptive sister, Ellie Lark, works there as a waitress.
Mashal has been eating at the Swan Dive since childhood.Bad Things Happen The original owners were good people, who established the diner as a "warm, no-frills watering hole". When they passed away, it was taken over by Chuck Ferguson, who exploited his employees in order to increase his own profits. When Marshal learned this, he intimidated Ferguson into giving up the business, and as Marshal tells it, Ferguson "decided that he liked having his kneecaps more than he liked owning a restaurant". Marshal then took over the ownership of the diner. Although his employees pretend not to know what happened, all of them are well aware.Origins, Issue #8, pp. 380-381
