For non-native Bay Staters, the challenge of correctly pronouncing “Woburn” ranks right up there with the level of difficulty in pronouncing “Worcester.” This historic city is known alternately as “Woe-burn,” “Woo-bin,” and “Wubburn.” For the record, the correct pronunciation is “Wu-bərn.” Woburn was the site of a very high-profile groundwater contamination incident in the 1970s and ‘80s. Two major corporations were suspected of dumping dangerous chemicals and industrial solvents into town wells, which contaminated the drinking water and were suspected to have caused a spike in childhood leukemia and other illnesses in the area. The book A Civil Action, which became a movie of the same name, was based on this case. Thankfully, Woburn doesn’t have to deal with contaminated water these days. But it does have to deal with its share of pests. Pests like:
Ticks are probably the more famous of this dual act since the emergence of Lyme disease, which these little buggers can carry and easily spread.
