Mismatched Place Names

Tampa, Florida has a major N-S Nebraska Ave it but on the other side of I-275 and parallel to it is Florida Ave. There’s a Floribraska Ave as well. But no other state names for major roads. I wonder how Nebraska had influence.

Sometimes place modifiers are the name. East River Drive named for the East river, not E. River. Or N Boulevard St- not North Blvd.

You need to listen carefully as well MN residents attending UW-Madison need to realize it’s Lake Monona or the Madison suburb of Monona and not Winona, MN most likely heard.

De Pere, WI is mispronounced as “peer” while another Green Bay suburb is pronounced the French way- it’s Allouez with a silent z. Shawano seems to be Shaw-no, not Sha-wa-no as out of area national weather people have been known to say and other place names are not pronounced at all like you would think.
