Help me talk like a local.

[JVB]

Hello Detroiters.

Can you help me with the local pronunciations of these. I've seen them in print a lot but have never heard them spoken aloud. I'd like to know where the syllable stress goes too. e.g. Gratiot = GRASH-it [[I think I have that one right?)

The list so far:

Charlevoix
Livernois
Joseph Campau
Dequindre
Chene

Thanks from a Detroit-phile on the west coast.

Shar-livoy
Liver-noy
joseph Com-po
De-Quin-der
Shane

That's my "Hooked on Phonics" way of spelling them like they sound. Hope it helps.


edit: nerd beat me to it, his look a little better.
