On November 30, 2003, this corner was officially renamed "Joey Ramone Place" by the city of New York. It is the block where Joey once lived with bandmate Dee Dee Ramone, and near the former site of CBGB.
Interestingly, the Joey Ramone Place sign is the most stolen sign in New York City. Most street signs are placed between 12 to 14 feet, but this one is now hung at 20 feet to deter theft.
