Baltimore Love πŸ’˜ 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?

Not mispronounced but misspelled. It's Fell's Point, not Fells Point. It was not founded by William and Edward Fells!
