Funk Music Hall Of Fame Temporarily Closing, Citing High Rent

thefunkcenter.org

The Funk Music Hall of Fame in Dayton is closing temporarily. 

Museum officials site a substantial rent increase.  The hall opened last year, telling the story of Ohio's place in the history of the genre.  Officials are searching for a new home while planning their first induction ceremony.
