When I was young we lived on Lahser. Always pronounced it Lasher. Sounding wrong any other way.
I thought it was pronounced "Laa-sir"?

I go back to the premise that it was pronounced differently in Oakland County than Wayne County way back when. It sounds like it has changed.

I didn't realize it turns into Outer Drive at i-96.

To get technical, it ends, merging with Outer Drive at Chalfonte, one block south of Fenkell (a.k.a. 5 Mile, to those west of Telegraph),

I used to tell the kids, when Eminem's "Eight Mile" was out: "Oh hell, when I grew up, 8 Mile was the suburbs!"

One month later, the misspelled highway sign remains, unchanged.
