It's hue-ston to me... Idon't know why the street is pronounced house-ton... I question my fiancee about that all the time... damn NY'kers.

The actor, John Houston--I think his name was pronounced "House-ten." City should be "Hew-sten."

edited: Thanks Encryptic--It was "John Huston!" I've always wondered . . .

 

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE have the Mods swap the "if" in your nick to "os".

His name was John Huston and it was pronounced Hue-stun or Hue-stin, to my knowledge.

I pronounce the city as Hue-stin, generally.
