I heard an European tourist on his cellphone telling someone he was in TUCK-sohn. (Tucson, AZ)

We have a town in Maryland called Havre de Grace that has several longstanding local pronounciations, accompanied by longstanding feuds:

1) HAVE-er-dee-grayce
2) HAVE-ah-dih-grass
3) HARV-dih-grahs
4) HAHV-dih-graw
