As a city founded by French immigrants along a major port, most of our streets are named in foreign languages -- and we pronounce them in a bastardized fashion. And then sometimes our country grammar causes a uniquely Midwestern weirdness with vowels that further complicates our St. Louis dialect. Welcome to STL; some words just come out weird around hurre.
