Poll for locals on how YOU pronounce certain street names edit

  1. KYW traffic reporters have pronounced Gowen Avenue with the "ow" rhyming with "now" as opposed to "go". Does that agree with you locals?
  2. I have heard people pronounce Cresheim as "KRESH-əm" (rhyming with "FRESH-um"). If you do not pronounce it that way, tell us how you do it.
  3. Chestnut Hillers, how do you pronounce Benezet? Do you say "Ben-ETZ-it" or "Ben-uh-ZAY"?
