Re-reading The Legend of Sleepy Hollow during lunch.
What say you? The town is in the Appalachian Region. Custom dictates the "-low" be replaced by "-ler."

Yes. And the protagonist should be called "Ichabaw Crane".

The only places I've heard it pronounced Jerden is at Auburn and in Winn Parish.

The Appalachian region or mountains stretch from Alabama into Canada. That doesn't mean everyone who lives in those areas talks the same.

I guess I could look this up, but is pumpkin center the name of an actually city and do they have pumpkins?
I have barely spent anytime in the Hammond area. Went there once when I was at LSU.

quote:and now you know the rest of the story
In the late 1800s a popular vaudeville comedy show called "Tales of Pun'kin Centre"[2] was distributed as a phonograph record and later broadcast over radio featuring a monologue by a fictional character named Uncle Josh Weathersby. The character resided in a fictional farming town called "Pun'kin Center." The village had no name at that time and some of the young men formed a baseball team to compete with the surrounding Hammond, Springfield and Albany teams. The team members named themselves the "Pumpkin Center" baseball team. Over time the residents of the surrounding cities and villages began referring to the area as Pumpkin Center and the name stuck.[3]
