When Joey Ramone was eighteen, he checked himself into St. Vincent's Hospital. The diagnosis was obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and he felt there were voices that made him repeat things. As Mark Leigh (Joey's brother) put it: "The doctors said...it would render him useless to function in society for the rest of his life."

Hey Ho, Let's GO. Hey Ho, Let's GO.

St. Vincent's Hospital closed on April 30, 2010, after being open for 160 years.

This is the location of the Ramones Museum Berlin. It is well established that Joey Ramone had a love for Germany, and apparently they have reciprocated.

From their website: "RAMONES MUSEUM founder Flo Hayler started his collection of RAMONES memorabilia 18 years ago, launching his insanity with the ticket stub, poster and shirt from his first ever RAMONES concert in 1990."

The space features memorabilia, a cafe (Cafe Mania), and a venue for performances.
