[edit] Pronunciation
I edited out some of the article concerning pronunciation. I am a native Middle Tennessean and lived near Lebanon much of my life. Never did I hear anyone pronounce the name of the town as leb-a-none, with a long 'o'. We might use a country accent, but the basic pronunciation would be like what you would hear from a mid-Western newscaster. No native Tennessean would refer to Middle Tennessee as 'central'. You would be looked at funny. We have three geographic regions with deep historical roots - East, Middle and West as in the three stars on the state flag. And it is not Eastern or Western, but East or West. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.164.134.56 (talk • contribs)
