Thread Name: BS: Schenectady Burns! Blame Canada!
Subject: RE: BS: Schenectady Burns! Blame Canada!
How does one pronounce the name of the aforementioned town? I can pronounce - indeed, have visited - Penetanguishine, but have never tried to say or visit Schenectady.

Upon looking it up (because I am a curious person who likes to improve my knowledge) I find the name is derived loosely from a Mohawk work meaning "near the pines" or "place beyond the pines". I know of a song called "In the pines", so does that mean this is actually a musical thread which should be above the line?
