Sorry, Lou Reed. Looks like Dave Grohl will be the next rock star to be honored with his very own street. Granted, Warren, Ohio -- the Foo Fighters frontman's birthplace -- is no New York , but it's a nice tribute just the same.

David Grohl Alley will be the name of a Warren street currently known as Market Alley, thanks to the unanimous passing of a resolution at a Warren City Council meeting last month. According to a report in the local Tribune Chronicle newspaper, the impetus for renaming the street came from Warren Police Sgt. Joe O'Grady and an area DJ named Fast Freddie.

Grohl -- who lived in the area until a young age and still has family in the area -- is expected to be invited to the dedication ceremony for the renamed lane, but details about when the event might take place are not yet available.
