> > I've been watching a lot of TV lately and I keep noticing that people can't agree on how to pronounce Palm Beach. News comentators from up north (That's anywhere north of Macon, Ga.) tend to say Poom Beach. I've even heard Pum Beach a time or two. I lived about 50 miles above the Palm Beach County line for a few years and as I remember, the people who live in the area say Pahm Beach. Or more often they pronounce the "l" softly. "Pahlm Beach"

I like that. It sounds much better than Poom Beach. You are a true southerner.
