Further Woes Hit Baltimore Poe House
Friday, August 19, 2011
The money strapped Poe House in Baltimore is once again picking up some national attention. In a recent article, the New York Times sheds light on the painful history of the illustrious building. Though not an opinion piece, it does nothing to suggest a way forward for the house.
However, there is a nugget of fundraising potential mentioned in the article. As many know, Baltimore's football team, the Ravens, take their namesake from Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem. Perhaps it's time for professional sports to step up and help save horror and history. With a small promotional boost from a team like the Ravens, there's a decent chance that the Poe House would have no trouble getting together what it needs to keep operating.
