fun fact: in just about every legal system, you aren't allowed to defend against your vandalism and sabotage charges by saying "i was stopping something terrible inside".

It's official... This morning New York City officially and permanently co-named West 8th Street as Jimi Hendrix Way. ๐ The new street sign unveiled today at the corner of 6th Avenue and West 8th Street is just down the street from Jimi Hendrix's landmark Electric Lady Studios in the heart of Greenwich Village. Stay Experienced!
