I think near a LITTLE ITTY BITTY town that is Spelled Nevada but is pronounced with a long 'a'. So I always look at Nevada and say it that way and was thinking at first. She doesn't live in OH!!!
It is the same thing here in Toledo. There is a street on the East side, Nevada, pronounced with the long a. There is also a small town Oregon (Oar-a-gon) as opposed to the state of Oregon (which I believe is pronounced more like Organ).
