As you probably know, we here in Ga. can tell a yankee just by the way he/she pronounces "Albany". A yankee will say, "ALLbany, N.Y." If he/she says "ALLbany, Ga.", then we know right off the bat his/her yankeeness. In Georgia, it's pronounced "All-BIN-ny". We also have a rural town named "Cairo", but here it's pronounced "KAYro".
