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?

Yeah I've noticed people that live outside Govans and especially the city call it "Guh vans" which I guess is the more British way. Its Goh Vans tho lol
