There’s a Houston St. in NYC but they pronounce it how’s-ton instead of hyous-ton.

I don’t know why.

There is also a Madras in India (Mah-dras) but Maa-dras MO. I don’t mind that, but the Sirius and Cyrus really galls me.

That is how you can tell if someone isn’t local.

It’s HOWston street.

Even better. I still meet people who say Brooklyn Dodgers. It’s like if they keep saying it, they will have never moved.
