...living in Boston (I was there from 1976 to 1980). Your head could explode. There's just no way to figure this stuff out:

Gloucester = GLOSS-TUH
Woburn = WOO-BIN
Quincy = QUIN-ZEE (used to love going down to the QUINZEE MAHKET)
Peabody = PEA-BIDDY
Gardner = GAA-DNA
Newton = NEW-UN
Barnstable = BAAN-STIBBLE
Shrewsbury = SHROOS-BREE
Leicester - LES-TAH
Leominster = LEMON-STUH
