And I thought that the City of Lowell was colloquial.  The neighborhoods 
in Lowell are how you would describe where you are from, or where you 
are lost.  Or where you lost it, etc.  (The Highlands. Christian Hill 
(which is a section of) Centralville (pronounced Centerville or 
Sennaville).  Old-timers may also call Centralville "Jersey" 
(manhattan/Hudson River/NJ reference),  Pawtucketville, Belvediere (to 
old-timers.  The newbies, there is Upper Belvediere and Lower 
Belvediere. Old-timers from lower Belvediere take exception to the upper 
crust trying to be uppity!)  Then there's South Lowell, Downtown, The 
Acre, Ayers City, The Flats, and a few I may have missed.
