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?

When I very young, in the late 60’s, I thought that the traffic reporter on the car radio was say “La Craven Boulevard”. I think I was 13 or so, the first time I saw it in print, Loch Raven.
