NEW YORK — Officials say a metal homage to the late punk legend Joey Ramone might be New York City’s most-stolen street sign. The Department of Transportation recently had the “Joey Ramone Place” sign reinstalled in lower Manhattan for the fourth time since 2003.
This time, it was raised another 8 feet to curb temptation. The New York Post says that puts it about 20 feet above street level.
The group’s longtime drummer, Marky Ramone, thinks Joey would appreciate the most-stolen distinction. But he adds: “Now you have to be an NBA player to see it.”
