News from The Associated Press: "Baltimore cut funding for the Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum, one of the strongest links between the literary icon and the city that claims him as its own.
The Poe House must become self-sustaining by the middle of next year or it will close, curator Jeff Jerome and city officials said Friday."

I'm not surprised by this news--as broke as Baltimore is, the house can't be considered a priority to them.
What I don't understand is how it costs $80,000 a year to maintain it!
