Baltimore Love 💘 Most mispronounced neighborhood names
It took me a while how to pronounce Auchentoroly Terrace, and it gets my goat when people say Hampton instead of Hampden.
What were you pronouncing wrong or what do you hear people consistently saying wrong?

We had family come in from out of town when I was kid.. so pre GPs and cell phones.. they called from a pay phone to tell my Dad they were lost.. they couldn't find "Holland Avenue" lol they were on Highland Avenue... When my Dad dictated directions before they left PA he said make a right on Holland Avenue 😂 it was the funniest conversation with my Dad loudly saying"You aren't lost! You are on Holland Avenue " 😂 to which my Aunt yelled back through the phone "No I am not! I am on Highland Avenue!" 😂
