Long time residents who say, "Morris Blvd.".

I'm with you on that. How about the people who call 'Buena Vista Blvd." - "Bona Vista."???!!! It isn't 'Bona'. It's a Spanish word, the first syllable rhymes with 'sway'. I'm from S. Fl., & learned a little bit of Spanish from my Cuban buddies over the years. My sister worked in the Miami office of unemployment for more than 25 yrs. & 90% of her peers were Cuban, & my sis is virtually fluent in Spanish. 😎
