Or more!
A trio from South of the Red River:
The city of Humble, Texas .... [the "H" is silent]
The street of Kuykendahl .... [locals add an "R" to the pronunciation,
as 'Kirk-n-Doll']
The oldest dance hall in Texas; Gruene Hall .... [this one actually
still manages to annoy me as it is {IMVHO wrongly} pronounced as 'Green
Hall']

(Who once knew a philologist who nearly injured some locals in Kentucky
for mispronouncing the name of their very own town! Yup! Pity the
fools living in 'Ver-SAY-Lees' Kentucky!)
