What do you expect - this Howdy Doody clone came from WBKB TV11 (We Barely Know Broadcasting) in Alpena. He needs to go back there…

There are multiple ways to pronounce Louisville, the visitor’s center even highlights this. Lewis-Ville is not one of them.

Then there's the old joke...

Q: How do you pronounce the capitol of Kentucky? Louie-ville or Lewis-ville?
