Virginia

Montvale, VA, here (yes, you're allowed to say "where?"). Between Roanoke and Bedford. New to this page, but raising the girls for yrs now. I adopted a cowardly rooster from the pound before he was euthanized. He's my buddy now.

looks like our area's growing a bit! I know of 2 Catawba (myself for one, but I say Roanoke otherwise people also go 'huh?') a couple Floyd, bodetot (yes it's spelled wrong, I never can get it right), Bedford, Lynchburg, rocky mount... oh and Wytheville now too!

there's more that I'm missing I'm sure.

Too funny. My husband and I just pronounce it as it is spelled. Crazy word. I'm Troutville to be more exact.

yeah usually it comes out bodytot... these towns in VA get me... like Stan-ton is not spelled Staunton (but it is, and not pronounced ston-ton) or whiffle. sorry that's whytheville... LOL Catawba's hard enough if you don't live around here. little did I know, the first time I drove thru (got lost coming from 64 to 81 years ago) that I'd live here. at the time I was calling it cat a wa ba. (it's cah-taw-bah).

at least we're not in new England. then you have to deal with all kinds of indian names... like Passamaquoddy, or Piscataquis, or many others (just realized a LOT of them start with P... Penobscot, Passadumkeag, etc.)
