JOEY RAMONE Has Street Named After Him

The corner of Second Street and the Bowery on New York's Lower East Side will be renamed Joey Ramone Place in a ceremony to take place Sunday, Nov. 30, featuring speakers and testimonials from the late performer's friends, family and fans, according to Hits Daily Double. The location is a half a block away from longtime band aide Arturo Vega's loft and famed punk club CBGB, where THE RAMONES launched their career. The lead singer for the "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame"-inducted group passed away in April 2001 after a long bout with lymphatic cancer.
