Does anyone know of a gem or plugin that does for street addresses what Chronic does for dates? And in a similar tone, does anyone know of somthing similar for names of places and people (I'm guessing the answer is no but it doesn't hurt to ask).

graticule/acts_as_geocodable will normalize addresses, so you may be able to get it to do what you want.
