The Phoenix is closing its doors for good on January 15, 2025. Before it was the Phoenix, it was the Diamond, but all of my memories of 410 Sherbourne were of The Phoenix where I spent many a night in the 90s.
I've also seen many concerts at The Phoenix, catching Weezer, Sloan and others. My last visit there was just this past winter when there was a Live-To-Air reunion in honour of Martin Streek. Amongst the people I saw there that night were Kim MacDonald and Chris Pack, a CFNYer who worked closely with Streek on the CFNY Video Roadshow. We literally talked all about that last night when Kim and Chris visited me for an episode of Toronto Mike'd.

The Phoenix is done, but I'll always have the great memories from a time I could stay up very late and lose myself in the music. Bring on the 456-unit, 39-storey residential building.
