White Castle Hamburgers were the only opportunity I've had to eat horsemeat. (they were busted for it once when I was a kid) I remember when you could buy one for a dime!
And I grew up in DE-troit near Nine mile and LI-ver-noy (Livernois) but the one that always wiped out the visitors was Lahser (said Lasher). And Bill, the radio stations said DE-troit, as in " the Motown soun' of DE-troit City", but those of us who lived there said De-TROIT most of the time.
Wasn't CKLW Windsor? At any rate, there was a Canadian station we all got that always ended the news with "Today is Chewsday, Feb-roo-aree third, and all trains, planes and buses are running on SHED-yul.
Blessings,
Barbara
