The Boston Phoenix suddenly folds

Boston Phoenix to close

Today's print edition, dated March 15, will be the last. There will be one more online edition, dated March 22. The Providence and Portland Phoenixes will continue publishing.

Without the Phoenix, we're going to lose a lot of coverage of music, theatre, visual arts, and other local culture.

Please use this post as an open thread for any thoughts or rememberances of this once-great publication.

Never paid attention to the radio station, but I did read the paper. First issue I bought was in 1999 from a place on Hancock St, Quincy and the main article was on starving artists or some-such, so there was a graphic of a painter on the cover.
