Strange Nebraskan Names

Working out by the Interstate makes me realize how people outside of Nebraska pronounce some of the town names. For example, the city, Kearney (pronounced "kar-nee") gets butchered by the travelers. I have noticed that they pronounce it keer-nee. Another example of this strange pronunciation is the town of Cairo (just like the city in Egypt...except it is pronounced "care-o"). It's funny when a person asks me how far "keer-nee" is and I say "'Kar-nee' is about 35 miles away." They always give me the strangest look. Anyway, I found this web quiz, that is really cool at determining where your accent places you. After taking it, I was obviously placed in the midlands (big shocker).
