Paris. It's also a city in Texas.
I see you and raise, Las Vegas, NM.
Cairo, IL (Population 1,505)
Pronounced kæro (K air o)
Comically, in Latin the æ would be pronounced with a sound like “ai” in “aisle,” so kæro would be pretty much the same as how you would expect to say Cairo.
(Fun fact, in Latin “Caesar” is pronounced very similarly to “Kaiser,” and is where the word “Kaiser” comes from.)
I’ve always heard it pronounced “Kay-roe”. 🤷
https://blog.txfb-ins.com/texas-travel/european-cities-in-texas/ someone has mapped out the "European" Texas road trip.
Hmmm
We also have a Paris in Ontario in Canada .... nice place next to the water and it even has the Eiffel Tower (painted as a mural on a storefront)
On that note, Paris, Texas is a great movie.
Did anyone fix the roof in the one house in London, Tx yet?
