Hasta La Ideas

If you were planning a trip to New York, you might want to start thinking about reconsidering, perhaps instead going to someplace where there are things to see and do, like Toledo or Guam. You haven’t been able to see massive amounts of sports memorabilia in New York since this February when the Sports Museum was forced to shut down (followed shortly thereafter in Los Angeles, too), and now you won’t be able to see piles of pop music collectibles either. It’s just been announced that The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC, an off-shoot of the Cleveland-based museum, will be shutting down in just under a month, after just over a year of existence, apparently due to very sparse visitor numbers. Here’s the announcement from the Annex’s site:

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC will conclude its stay in New York on January 3 at 8PM. The Rock Annex is exploring opportunities for a tour that would bring exclusive artifacts to music fans and rock enthusiasts around the world. Fans have just one more month to experience the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex NYC, showcasing rare artifacts from legendary artists including Springsteen, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson and its featured exhibit, John Lennon: The New York City Years.

The Cleveland Leader, who predicted the Annex wouldn’t work when it was first opened, now writes “Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You.”
