Attended a kids soccer game in Taneytown (pronounced ‘tinytown’) just a few weeks ago. I’ll have to go back and see if this guy has any tributes.
He was Andrew Jackson’s main man in Jackson’s cage fight to the death with Nicholas Biddle and his Second Bank of the United States (kind of a private-label Yankee Fed).
Begging your pardon, but locals pronounce it Tah-nee-town. Funny how these things work.
Like the county and city in south central PA which furriners pronounce, Lan-cass-ter, eliciting polite snickering from the locals; who have always pronounced it “Lank-uster”.
Actually it is like Tawney town.
Common know,edge here plus I have 2 relations that have lived there quite a while.
I never understand that pronunciation. I cannot resist to say it exactly as it appears.
Oh, and Justice Taney was memorialized in Frederick. The foreigners from DC put up a stink and tried to get the bust removed.
Of course, most of them are damn liberals, not to mention invaders taking over a great area and fundamentally changing it.
