Could Blue Danube be making a comeback? Permits hint at a return to Old North

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- The Blue Danube closed in 2018 after nearly eight decades of business, but the Old North diner appears to be inching toward a comeback.

Also known as "The Dube," the restaurant and bar on the corner of North High Street and West Blake Avenue, just to the north of the Ohio State campus, was open for 78 years before shutting down. Since May, an entity called Old Dube LLC has applied for six liquor permits at the the Blue Danube's former location, indicating it could be gearing up for a return.
