...as in Hereford St., in Boston?

While most might pronounce it as HERE - ford,
With a Boston accent it'd be heehr-fud street as in
the ONLY part of Boston where the streets are actually parallel -
Arlington, Berkeley, Clarendon, Dartmouth, Exeter, Fairfield, Greenich, Hereford followed by Ipswich. :-)
Hope that helps!

Well over here in the UK, where Hereford's a town, we'd pronounce it pretty much as Herryfud.
Fascinating isn't it, how one word sounds so different depending on where you come from?

well that would be a cow, and a city, and in your case a state. In tx, we pronounce it her-ferd
