Apostrophes have been banned from city signs in Birmingham, England. I also found out that there was an Apostrophe Protection Society. Who knew? It's a nice site with lots of good references and good/bad examples of usage.

This was also covered in our local paper, The Richmond Times-Dispatch. Here is a link to A. Barton Hinkle's piece, "The World is Heading for an Apostrophe Catastrophe."

I'm going to continue to use the apostrophe with street names. Happy writing!
