Larry's: Center of the Universe Closing

"Larry's is the stuff of legend, a weathered bohemian watering hole where Bob Dylan supposedly once spent the night in an upstairs apartment, a bowling alley used to draw patrons to the basement, and finger-snapping poetry nights attracted Monday crowds for a quarter-century.

"It used to be the center of the universe," said Mike Hummel, a Columbus rock musician who has frequented the Ohio State University-area bar since the 1970s and was once known as "the mayor of Larry's."

No longer.

Time has caught up with Larry's: At the close of business tonight, the family-owned establishment -- one of the first High Street outposts to serve suds after Prohibition -- will shut its doors for good."

My second date with my wife was at Larry's. I'll miss the place - what a great jukebox!
