Art by Kitty PHOTO GALLERY NOW OPEN! On November 30, 2003, the city of New York rechristened the corner and the Bowery as "Joey Ramone Place." In addition to being right around the corner from CBGB, where the Ramones' career took off, this is the block where the first Ramones album cover was shot - as well as the block where Joey and Dee Dee lived. Step in and join the celebration!
