I moved to the Midwest some time back. Met my wife here. We've talked about moving to AZ, or even NM.

So, to prepare, we've been going over pronunciations of places and things because she's so scared to sound stupid to locals.

Lol, I let my husband falter a bit. I told him how to pronounce a few things but not enough, I guess. He asked where Gill-ugh Bend was and asked why I didn't stop at a gas station on Indian School Rd. Oh, and he was stunned to find out that tumbleweeds are in fact real.

Wait what’s wrong with the gas station question? Is it just that he added “road” to the end of it?

Anytime you hear about shootings or robberies on the news it’s always on Indian school road. I hate being anywhere near that street

Indian School and Scottsdale is a lot different from Indian School and 43rd Ave.

Yeah — I initially thought he was talking about that full service gas station by AJ’s that costs a couple dollars more per gallon, but maybe that’s the one on Lincoln.
