Hollis, Queens Street Corner Renamed After RUN DMC

Posted by Juan

New York City council approves renaming 205th Street and Hollis Avenue hip hop pioneers

RUN DMC

The New York Times is reporting that The New York City Council approved a new bill that will rename 205th Street and Hollis Avenue in Hollis, Queens after the group, Run-DMC. The popular corner where Hollis’ prodigal son’s perfected their craft will forever be known as “Run-DMC JMJ (Jam Master Jay) Way,”

Leroy G. Comrie, a Queens City Councilman that represents the district says the renaming of the street and the brand new Hollis Famous Burger joint/ museum will “economically revitalize this particular neighborhood as a potential tourism attraction.”
