Who knows? I learned real quick that that's the way Houston St. in NYC is pronounced too! Apparently it's the correct way. For example- In Kentucky we have a city named Versailles. Do we pronounce it Vers-eye? Nope, in good old KY it's Ver-sales. Oh yeah...
You are welcome guys! I can't take credit for the pronouciations or any mispronounciations on the list, I just copied and pasted it from that website on my op. I had no idea how to say most of those either!
