I used Metro North to commute to NYC for thirty years, and I remember one morning sitting behind two very talkative ladies at 7:00 am in the morning. One was telling the other that she had spent Saturday visiting relatives in "Ma-Ma-Row-Neck" I've lived in Westchester all of my life and it took a few moments for my half-awake brain to realize that she was referring to Mamaroneck. I had never heard the Town of Mamaroneck butchered so badly.
