If you bitch about Bernie Smilovitz, that ain't radio. It's valid that Chatterbox may have been the best starting point for this thread, but, just as when "Bluto" Blutarsky accused the Germans of bombing Pearl Harbor in the movie "Animal House," it became a matter of "Forget it, he's rolling."

Also, like it or not, Charles Lahser got to greater Detroit and held local positions of note several score before Fred Lasher pitched for the Tigers, so, Lahser it is.

That is a frequent occurrence here. Once that train is put down on the track, that's where it stays.

I thought this one started because one of the on-air talent mispronounced it or another common local example (Groesbeck, Schoenherr, etc), but I scrolled back to the top and it was a street sign. Probably should have come with a warning in case there are some of the traffic reporters out on the roads in that area.

My bad. I'm not a full service user of this Board - as I've only frequented the Metro Detroit/SE Michigan page - so I wasn't embracing the much larger reach of this Board. I've learned my lesson.

The correct lesson to take is that it really didn’t make a difference where you put it.

I've often pondered if you are Ron Cameron. Let's be honest. That thread wouldn't be 100+ pages if it wasn't for you putting the paddles to it every time it goes a few days without a post.

Reminds me how some signs list 8 Mile Rd as “Base line Rd”

But that’s actually correct. It’s a baseline for map making purposes and that line runs all the way across the state. The road happens to run on top of the line.

You get far enough west and it’s called Base Line Road and not 8 Mile or Eight Mile.

when I lived in northwest Detroit in the early 60's everyone I knew pronounced it as "Lasher" even though it was spelled "Lahser", we seemed to think hat the street sign was just screwed up.

My cover’s been blown!!! But I generally just post when I’m on the air because I’m too busy hustling when I’m off-the-air.

My mother was one of those always pronouncing it as Lasher, so I grew up following her lead. When I was old enough to know better, I asked her why she said “Lasher.” She said a posh neighbor woman pronounced it “Lahser” but she chalked it up to her just putting on airs.

My dad also calls it "Lasher". I notice that no one(that I know) under 60 says "Lasher". Seems to be all the old people. But I don't think kids graduate from Bloomfield Hills Lasher, so I think that is the final say in this.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Definitely long gone.... it was flown out in the middle of the night during the government laser project of the 1960’s...
