In a bit of a dubious honor, the street sign for Joey Ramone Place is officially the most stolen sign in New York City. It came first out of more than 250,900 signs stolen each year, beating out both Wall Street and Broadway. Impressively, the street signs are 12 to 14 feet off the ground but due to the thefts, Joey Ramone’s sign has been raised an additional 20 feet reports the New York Post.

The sign lives (temporarily) at Bowery and East 2nd Street. Marky Ramone commented on the street and the thefts:

Every time I turn down Second Street, I look up and say, ‘Hey Joey, you belong up there. It’s a really nice tribute to a frontman who started the genre we call punk rock.’

Check out the report and picture here.

Hello everybody and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back at the week in Punknews. I’m Adam White and I’ll be your guide through some of the most popular, notable, and otherwise attention getting stories of the past seven days. Each and every Punknews story is built from tips contributed by you fine folks, and here’s what got the community talking this week:

• Bad Religion streamed their new record The Dissent of Man
• We had video footage of Fake Problems performing Blink-182’s “Dammit” with Brian Fallon of the Gaslight Anthem
• Speaking of Fake Problems, they streamed their new record Real Ghosts Caught on Tape
• Brokencyde, the band created by the trixter god Loki to befuddle us mere mortals, has detailed their second album
• Madball has fired drummer Jay Weinberg while on tour in Canada. As such, Canada now has an extra drummer we need to get rid of. We might trade him to Denmark for a bassist.
• Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger are headed out on yet another tour together.
• The BBC has assembled an hour-long Bring Me The Horizon documentary
• Tiger Army is set to celebrate Halloween with “Power of Moonlight” live

With that we hand over this Sunday evening to you, the Punknews community. From that glorious, likely bearded rabble we’ve see the creation of everything from message boards and Punknews fantasy sports leagues to even a band or two. So talk amongst yourselves and we’ll see you Monday…
