Please go on Wikipedia and look up Taddeusz Kosciuszko. The man was a famous general and fought in our American Revolution. You can hear a pronunciation of his name.
And Schermerhorn is Sherr-mur-horn.
You'd never get the streets right in Buffalo. So, so many are tougher Polish and German names!
haha this is great stuff. i'm sure every state has their own, but try coming to hawaii. we got a lot of street names that'll mess you up!
"head straight down kamehameha highway, make a left on kalanianaole, and take the third left on laupahoehoe drive. easy."
Pretty close -- it's KAZ-a-meer-off. And I'm certain of this because when I was growing up in the Bronx, Ted Kazimiroff was my family dentist (not to mention a man of diverse talents -- archaeology, botany, Bronx history, natural history, etc.)
By the way, no one has to worry any longer how to pronounce it, because the city changed the street's name back to its original designation of Southern Boulevard last year (although Google Maps still lists it as Dr. Theodore Kazimiroff Boulevard). There was a very good piece in the NY Times about this change in names -- http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/12/ny...l?ref=nyregion
Now what I'd really like to know is how to pronounce Fteley Avenue in the Bronx.
