Tim Hortons and the missing apostrophe

The Bolla Market which recently opened on eastbound Merrick Road in Seaford, just before the Hempstead/Oyster Bay town line, has a staffed counter for Tim Hortons coffee, donuts, and breakfast sandwiches. I noticed the missing apostrophe. The explanation is HERE.

Shortly after Expo '67, Quebec nationalists insisted on French-only signs. The apostrophe in Tim Horton's brand name was English, so it was dropped.

Wantagh Public Library is open

One may enter the Wantagh Public Library, browse shelves, and check out books. Two noted restrictions: 1) No seating is allowed; 2) Book returns must be done in special bins near the entrances. Books may not be returned at the counter. Presumably, this is done to quarantine the books for a few days.
