Was the address of the store 4010 Holbrook Dr., or 4010 Holbrook Drive?
It's Drive, spelled out.
AP Style under addresses
says to abbreviate avenue, boulevard and street when it's part of a
specific address. But similar words like alley, drive, road and terrace
are always spelled out, no matter what.
I know the
report had drive abbreviated, but our job as journalists is to translate
anything except direct citations and quotes into AP style.
