Well Hereford St in Boston was named in honour by the Puritan settles after Hereford in England (near the River Wye, the Welsh border).
Phonetically its pronounced herəfəd...
Or He (like hair), Re (like the 're' in resolution) and Fed... HeReFed
btw that whole Puritan stuff, I made it up to sound impressive lol

This is a pronunciation that only a true Bostonian can deliver. You claim to be Boston Man so you should know. Just to make sure you have been saying it like the other natives...
Call this guy's office on the phone. The secretary will probably answer. Ask her how to say the name of the street where their office is located.

In England we would pronounce it "Hairyfud", but knowing how things can differ over in the states you might pronounce it "Hear-ford".
