DS Update: HOB Staying!

Apparently, House of Blues is not moving anywhere!
Back in 2010 the Blog first reported a rumor that House of Blues was going to close and then updated the rumor that they weren't actually closing but relocating to downtown Orlando, possibly to Church Street Station. Of course, it never happened.
Then in late 2016 we published another rumor saying that when HOB's lease was up in 2019, they were out of there. This followed Disney allegedly forcing House of Blues to cancel their immensely popular Sunday night "Service Industry Night" following an alleged rape outside the club. We're told Disney exerts strict control of music artists and music genres that are allowed to play there. This time the rumor was that they were moving to International Drive. The year 2019 is quickly coming to an end though and they're not moving. So we followed-up with our 2016 source and the answer was that House of Blues restaurant and club simply make too much money right where they're at in Disney Springs. So they're not going anywhere. And ultimately, that's what it's all about.
