SPADINA - SPADEENA

Interesting observation, I have made and will state: Torontonians pronounce major Toronto length-of-pavement, Spadina (includes "Road" [north of Bloor Street] and "Avenue" [south of Bloor Street]), as "Spa-dye-na", while many tourists to this great city say the word as "Spa-dee-na".

The joke is, "Spa-dee-na" is actually the proper pronunciation.

I told you my observation would be "interesting".
