And where will this tribute live? Right beside Electric Lady Studios — the legendary recording sanctuary Hendrix opened circa 1970. The new street sign will stand as a forever‑more landmark, honoring the place where he built a sonic universe brick by brick, riff by riff.

Rock ’n’ roll to wherever Jimi’s spirit zephyrs — above, below, or hopefully swirling all around us musical birds.

Comment below. Should more cities honor music legends with street dedications like this?
