If you walk around New York City right now, you might notice that some of the street and subway signs have changed to pay homage to America's newest president — Joe Biden. 

That's because NYC artist, Adrian Wilson, transformed the signs to celebrate Biden's inauguration.

Wilson changed Astoria's 46th Street subway station tiling to read "46th Joe" as a tribute to the 46th U.S. president — Joe Biden.

In smaller tiling below it, he also modified the exit instructions from "46th St." to "45th OUT" — pointing to 45th president Donald Trump's exit from office.

The station sign leading down to the M & R train platforms was also transformed to read "MR. BIDEN".

Plus, the Thompson Street sign was revised to say "Trump Gone St." and the one-way sign above it now spells out "GONE AWAY".

So, if you're in NYC, keep an eye out for Biden tributes both above ground on street signs and below ground when the subway doors open.
