I'd forgotten how many New England towns aren't pronounced the way they're spelled. My Mainer friends still laugh because I thought that Bangor was pronounced like "Bang-er" and "Saco" was pronounced like "sacko" when I first moved up there. And we won't even get into the pronounciation of "Biddeford" (Biddefid-really fast).
Turns out the town I asked about in my previous post was "Haverhill" which is, of course, pronounced (I think) "Hayvril" and not "Have-r-hill".
