Dave Grohl immortalised in alley

Market Alley in Warren, Ohio, has been renamed Dave Grohl Alley after a campaign led by local DJ Fast Eddie and police sergeant Joe O'Grady, passed unanimously by council.

Dave Grohl has had an alley named after him in his hometown of Warren, Ohio, which I'm sure he must be thrilled about. Following a campaign led by local radio DJ Fast Eddie and police sergeant Joe O'Grady, Market Alley has now been renamed Dave Grohl Alley. According to local paper The Tribune Chronicle, some residents were concerned about how much the move would cost the city, but the name change was passed unanimously at a vote by the local council. A dedication ceremony is now planned, to which Grohl will be invited.

If anyone from the parish council in the village where I grew up is reading this, I would like one of the horse chestnut trees on the green named after me. But only after all the branches have grown back.
