Since we are on the subject of cities, did you know that the capital of Vermont is Montpelier pronounced /mɒntˈpiːliər/ (thanks wikipedia!)? I almost burst laughing at the pronunciation by one of my prof who has a Boston - Upper West Side hybrid accent. Can an l make that much of a difference America?...and England?....and Ireland? (for disambiguation, look at the french Montpellier). Interestign facts, there are so many Monpeliers in the US:

• Montpelier, Idaho
• Montpelier, Indiana
• Montpelier, Iowa
• Montpelier, Kentucky
• Montpelier, Louisiana
• Montpelier, Maryland
  • Montpelier Mansion (Laurel, Maryland), a U.S. National Historic Landmark
• Montpellier (Natchez, Mississippi), listed on the NRHP in Mississippi
• Montpelier, Ohio
• Montpelier, Vermont, capital of the U.S. state of Vermont
• Montpelier, Hanover County, Virginia
• Montpelier, Charles City County, Virginia
• Montpelier (Orange, Virginia), another U.S. National Historic Landmark, which is the Virginia estate of James Madison, fourth President of the United States
• Montpelier (Cabin Point, Virginia), listed on the NRHP in Virginia
• Montpelier (Sperryville, Virginia), listed on the NRHP in Virginia

P.S. I was thinking of editing the title line to "Montpelier!"... but seriously, no!
