Huh. And here I thought I'd always heard it pronounced with the dropped/slurred/whatever last syllable. Thanks for setting me straight. Some friends of ours who used to be townies tried to tell us that YOU couldn't possibly be a townie if you didn't say HAM. Stuck between two townies, I figured I must be mistaken!

Crazy New Englanders... Can't even be consistent in the way they pronounce their crazy cities. Been here 5 years and still making mistakes, I tell ya... :)
