YOU SAY WOODBURRY, I SAY WOODBERRY, LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF! (CONT.)
Poet X of PDX:
"Woodberry/Woodbury, House-ton/Hues-ton: Here in Portland, one must quickly learn to pronounce 'Couch Street' to rhyme with 'Smooch Street' in order to be recognized as a local. It seems strange to report this as a strange pronunciation, clearly qualifying me as a Portlander after a decade here."
