Off-point but is Vienna, VA pronounced Vee-enna as in Austria or Vy-enna as it is pronounced here in Georgia (sometimes pronounced as Jo-Ja)?

It's pronounced like the city in Austria.

In GA I have always heard it as VII-ina. Stretch the VII and rush the ina. Not bad for a Yankee though :-)

Bonus question, Virginians ineligible
How is Purcellville pronounced ?
