Staten Islander Mike Mattia, with daughter Erin and wife, Regina, arrives at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex in SoHo to check out the John Lennon exhibit before museum closed Sunday.
(NYDaily News) – It was the day the music died at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Annex Sunday as the museum closed its doors just a year after opening.
“There was no way I was going to miss this,” said Lisa Karas, 51, who bundled up her family for the trip from Hamburg, N.J. “I had to come see it.”
The SoHo music-lovers’ paradise fell victim to the economy and a down year for city tourism.
Some visitors were shocked the museum, which featured artifacts ranging from Elvis’ jumpsuit to Bruce Springsteen’s Chevy – as well as a special exhibit on John Lennon’s New York years – didn’t do better in a town with a rich rock heritage.
