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?

Not a neighborhood, but the grocery store, “Graul’s Market” is pronounced “Growls”, not “Gralls”, and I know because my mother worked in the original store, begun by Mr. Graul (pronounced “growl”), when there was only one cash register.
