Most of the old-timer locals, my father was born there, pronounced it
TAHN-IN

The proper way to pronounce the city is  TON-TIN.

That reminds me,  I remember the old  WRLM 93.3....a quirky little local
station in it's day until they saw dollar signs in there eyes and sold it
off.  Now its just another Clear Channel move in to the Providence market as
WSNE.

I remember an ID around 1975 that was somehting like this....
"Now with 50,000 watts in Stereo....from the McCarthy Professional Building
this is Ninety Three Three WRLM Taunton."

Just showing my advanced age
