Movin' into an Aptm'

Today and tomorrow are among the busiest days of the year in Boston as students and young professionals move in and out of their Sept. 1 apartments. I know at least 20 people who are moving or who have recently moved, including my friend Paul, who moved into a building featuring a bizarre abbreviation/apostrophe catastrophe.


Apostrophes can indicate missing letters, so ap'tm's might be OK, but Aptm's strikes me as very odd. I don't know if I could live there!

Thanks to Rich for taking the photo. Good luck with moving!
