"The East Village street corner located a few yards away from legendary punk club CBGB's is one step closer to being known as Joey Ramone Place. On Wednesday, the Public Safety and Transportation Committee of Manhattan's Community Board 3 unanimously approved a proposition by 20-year-old Maureen Wojciechowski to dub the corner of East Second Street and the Bowery after the late punk icon who, along with the likes of Patti Smith, Television and the Talking Heads, helped bring the genre to life at CBGB in the mid-'70s. In order for Joey Ramone Place to become a reality, the proposal must be approved by the 50-member community board at a meeting on November 15 (sonicnet.com)."
