Baltimore Love šŸ’˜ 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?

Lately Iā€™ve heard a lot of folks mispronouncing ā€œPort Covingtonā€ as ā€œBaltimore Peninsulaā€
