Update on Poe...

The Rowhouse in Baltimore where Mr. Poe Dwelled with relatives from 1832-35 .... this structure is now a Museum dedicated to him his life and his writings ..... Unfortunately the city has decided to stop the funding that supports this historical location .... The Poe Museum now has only until June to become "self-sustaining" or it faces the closure of this place that is so dear to many of his many fans...
 This is a part of American History.... And the City Officials have decreed that other "projects" should now receive this funding ... How many of these "projects" are more important than the preservation of this piece of our country's history
 To let this injustice upon this creative genius go unchallenged is just plain "Wrong"....!!!!!
But I live in Marshville.... and have No say as to their decision in the matter
Speak out and let your elected "officials" know how you feel ( I will see about writing mine and will ask the area libraries have a "petition" for the public to sign to try and prevent its closure... I do not know if it will do any good in this matter but we can always try... Let as many people as you can know what is about to happen to this piece of history that means so much to so many.....
                                         if not .... its days are limited   For in June will be its closing....
