Apparently it's pronounced "Hole-kum" as in "Kumbaya" my Lord.

That's it?   We wait all week for the usual Weird Adventures In America, and all we get is some half-assed stuff about how to pronounce the name of some street?   Please go back into the streets, and come up with something less sub-standard.   Asante sana. 

Now, dig Fats Waller:

I swear they're pronouncing it wrong. It should be "Holocomb" as in "Hollow" and:

When in the south, you have to enunciate like a southerner. How would you pronounce "Beaumont"?

I have no time for bureaucracy.  I guess I'll have to take action myself.

Steve Jobs was not the first person to get thrown out of an organization he created.   Nevertheless, out of respect, I will  at this point first issue a warning: no more drunken postings.    Failure to heed that warning will lead to stern & immediate action.
