Pronouced Bay-har in Spanish. Good old boys call it Bear County. Then there's the city near Austin. Manor. Everywhere else in the world it's pronounced manor as in manor house. Texans ain't buying it. They pronounce it May-nor. WE know the city in Illinois as Elgin. Down here in Texas they pronounce that g as "gh". It comes out like L-ghin.To each their own. Love New Braunfels Wurstfest, Schlitterbahn, tubing on the Guadalupe River... pronounced Guad - a - loop by Texans. The German food is exceptional.Then, if you're lucky enough to get tickets to enjoy a special show, end up going to Gruene Hall for someone like Willie. By the way, Texans pronounce that Green Hall. If you want some outside entertainment, you head up to Whitewater Ampitheater on 306 outside New Braunfels near Canyon Lake. You name it. If it's Austin type music like George Strait and Willie, that's where it's at.</blockquote>
