Time for another “What do YOU say?," this time for the city of Montrose, in the western part of Colorado.
Mike McDermott, Laura Bloom, The Smith family, Patricia Hoff and Dale Holland all want an answer.
“Most people pronounce it 'Mon-trose,' but I understand the locals say 'Mont-rose.' Which is correct?" - Mike McDermott
So Next asked the city manager, who said:
“When people say Montrose, they emphasize the Mont in the word - they think it's a mountain. Mount Rose.”
It’s how most city employees say it, anyway, the manager said.
Any other pronunciation debates about a city, town or county you know of that need settled?
Next will answer the call! Well, the email anyway. Or use the hashtag #heynext.
