Walk This Way: Street Named After Run-DMC

Hip-hop icons Run-DMC added yet another feather to their well-decorated hats - a street renamed in their honor. A bill was passed unanimously in June and signed into law by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to rename the street corner on 205th Street and Hollis Avenue to Run-DMC JMJ Way.

Queens councilman Leroy G. Comrie hopes that the effort will bring a boost to the economy in that neighborhood. “It is my sincere hope that this street renaming, combined with the museum," said Comrie, "will help to economically revitalize this particular neighborhood as a potential tourism attraction." What a way to cap off an already successful year, in which they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
