We have a few unusually pronounced street names around here. Everybody from this area knows their pronunciation well. One example is Pio Nono avenue. Named after an American indian. Correctly pronounced (around here anyway) Pie-ah-nonna. We've heard Pee Oh no-no so much from new loacl TV personalities, it's stupid. We also have a Houston Avenue. Yup. Pronounced HOWston, because it was someone's name and that's how they pronounced it. You'd THINK these media stations would educate these cats with some of these local names, but it always cracks me up.
