I love the old marquee entrance to this apartment building on University Avenue. I have a vague idea it goes back to the 1920s. I lived in a building a half-block away in 1978, and the manager — Doug, a Briton who said he was a retired race-car driver from way back — told me that it had been put up at the same time as this one, for the same owner, and he put it in that ’20s time-frame. Don’t know whether his report was accurate. Anyway, the APT’S sign survives.

If only I had known about your apostrophe post when I did mine last night. We should start an apostrophe-watch website. Maybe there is one already?
And here’s an old favorite, the Gallery of “Misused” Quotation Marks:

Hasn’t been updated in five years, still makes me laugh out loud.
