Just months after its opening, it is lights out for the Rock Hall of Fame Annex in lower Manhattan. Lackluster attendance is to blame for the shut down, which comes only about a year after the Grand Opening.  A John Lennon special exhibit drew decent numbers during the summer, but traffic dropped too drastically to justify keeping the doors open. Some attribute the failure to attract enough interest to location; the Annex is far from the mainstream tourist epicenter of Mid-town. Insufficient promotion and the $28.85 price of admission may also have contributed to the rapid demise.
