After 15 years of providing 麻豆精选 music fans with a place to take in live shows, the Habitat on Leon Avenue is closing its doors.
Vancouver band Hey Ocean! performed Saturday night and after the show posted a message singing the praises of Quinn Best, the owner of the Habitat.
鈥淣ot only is this the last show of our tour, but we just found out that this will be the final show at the venue itself,鈥� reads the post.
鈥淭hey busted out our old posters dating back to 2006. Lots of fond memories of this spot over the years. Thank you to (Quinn Best) for always fighting for arts/culture in 麻豆精选 and supporting up and coming musicians. Excited to see what comes next for you and The Habitat team.鈥�

Earlier this month We Are the City, a band that started in 麻豆精选, left a similarly themed post on Twitter after their performance.
鈥淲e鈥檒l remember last night in 麻豆精选 as one of the best shows of the band鈥檚 life,鈥� they said. 鈥淭he people in the room, the people missing. Saying goodbye to the Habitat, saluting a formative environment for 麻豆精选 bands. Nostalgia for the days past. Thank you to everyone who came.鈥�

While the news is out that Habitat is closing, and land title documents indicate the building was sold earlier this year, the businesses website doesn鈥檛 reflect any changes.
The website indicates that the Habitat was going to expand.
鈥淲e have exciting news everyone! Creative BC has approved two grants for Habitat so that we can build a bigger stage and a new sound system,鈥� it reads.
