Name of Restaurant

It is

Top of the Sixes

. It is not

Top of the Six's

or anything else. "Sixes" is a plural. There are three sixes in the address, and the restaurant is at the top of the three sixes. It's not possessive and if it is something is missing. Top of the Six's WHAT? Top of the Six's Eyebrows? Top of the Six's Piano? 2604:2000:C682:2D00:9DA7:6FC8:4E3D:C6DD (talk) 14:29, 24 March 2017 (UTC)Christopher L. Simpson[reply]
