Microsoft, Samsung, Huawei, Apple, Canon, Nikon, and Nintendo. The list is not complete.I wonder if there’s a bit of a curse at this place. Every company named was gobbled up by a competitor. What danger awaits Sony?

$1.9 million should get a good sign. It only needs to last a decade or so until the next of many suitors lays claim.Sony's signage always looked a bit cheap and temporary. Hopefully this is better.
The JFL42 comedy fest, that starts a few days later, has awkwardly had to advertise for months now that headline acts are at "Sony Centre (soon to be Meridian Hall)".... on September 15, 2019 The Sony Centre for the Performing Arts will officially be renamed Meridian Hall...
Noticed on weekend that the 'garden' at corner of Yonge & Front has all been excavated - looks as though they had (have?) a leak below it. Another example of poor construction by the L-Tower folk (they built it for the (then) Sony Centre.
BTW. Note to MODs. Maybe change THREAD TITLE so it reads
The Sony Centre will always be the O'Keefe Centre (until it becomes Meridian Hall)
Now they're both gone and not a convenience store in sight!There used to be two Mac's locations across the street from one another at Avenue Rd. and Lawrence shortly after Mac's started taking over Beckers locations. One was a converted former Beckers and the other was a Mac's from day 1. Locals used to have to clarify by saying "Beckers Mac's" or "Mac's Mac's"
