Alt Ledes -- Write With (AP) Style

Is it a store on Michigan Ave. or Michigan Avenue?

It's the latter. How do I know this? In AP Style under "addresses" . . .

Use the abbreviations Ave., Blvd. and St. only with a numbered address: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Spell them out and capitalize when part of a formal street name without a number: Pennsylvania Avenue.

Don't forget your AP Style, folks!
