That's located "up nawth uh he-ah" Pronunciation is tough. It's never "banger". Locals here call it something like "Bang-go-uh". Odd word in that the G is clearly pronounced with two separate usages in the same word. The "ang" in the first syllable and the hard G in the second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
