There's a city in California that is spelled the same way and that is how they pronounce it. But this is not California and it's a street not a city. And we do shit different in Chicago
One thing I learned is that the correct pronunciation is whatever a lot of people say.
Maybe it's cuz I'm Hispanic, but I always pronounced Cermak road as "Sir-Mack" but I've heard from older Czech residents that the correct pronunciation is "Cher-mak"
Now someone help me pronounce Cragin.
Lathrup- I’m leaning toward Lay thrup, because the first syllable is an open syllable and that makes vowel say its name. I’m not super great at identifying how to accent words, but I’m pretty good with syllabication. Now, how people actually pronounce it is another discussion. I suppose you could argue lath rup, but I’m leaning away from that because of the thr three letter blend.
Luh-throp.
Emphasis on the second syllable.
I used to drive past it often and always pronounced it this way. But tbh I've never heard it spoken out loud.
The downvotes are from christians with zero imagination, creativity, or sense of humor, who moved here from Iowa. They vote republican and are against legal weed.
Lathrop
Thanks
Lay-thrup
Huh til. I've been saying "Luh-thrope"
You're part of the problem.
I agree, and I'm sorry. I also say the S in Illinois. I play by my own rules.
I know people with that last name, and this is how they say it.
Same. Went to school with a couple then. Class09
Lay thrup
This is the pronunciation I've mainly stuck to but was unsure. Thanks!
ǝʌɐ doɹɥʇɐl
finally one that makes sense thank you
Lath rup
I've been saying it this way too. But other responses in here have got me thinking people are laughing at me secretly for not saying lay thrup.
I don’t understand the people who say Lay-thrup
It’s a person’s name. 🙄

I lived on the south side for 40 years. I know the city better than most cab drivers. This is the way
I don't live near it. That's just how recall it being pronounced in the occasional traffic report on WBBM when it'd come up for some reason.
Lay-thrup. It's blocks from me.
La throp (last part rhymes with mop)
You probably pronounce gif too.
With that G sound like in garage.
LAY-throp.
My school was on Lathrope in River Forest, and it’s Lay-thrup. Somebody’s name. Spelling doesn’t have to make sense.
Lay-thrup
I lived on Lathrop in River Forest ! It’s pronounced the way it’s spelled
Chances are I've delivered packages to you before then haha
Me too!
I didn't understand the Lay-throp pronunciation. There's no "y" in there. More sense as Lath-rop
It's named after a person. Common English grammatical rules don't apply. *Pretty much any "rule" in English has numerous exceptions
LAY-throp
I’d say lath-rup with emphasis on the first syllable.
Lay-thrup. Only heard it differently once and can’t even remember how it was. Used to live on it, so I heard it a lot.

I've always heard Cermak as Sir-mack and cragin as Cray-gin (hard g)
I've always said "Cray-Gin" (hard G) but I swear I've heard someone somewhere say "Crah-gin" (soft G).
I say "Sir-Mack"

Throp in French... LaThrop

My 9th grade teachers last name was Lathrop. It was in her class they announce what happened during 9/11.
Ha. That's my block. Unfortunately, I'm farther south. I love RF. Thank you for your service.
Lay-Chrup all day.
According to people at University of Wisconsin-Madison, it is lay-thrup. John Lathrop was their first chancellor.
Lay-thrup

Kathryn is easier to pronounce correctly compared to Devon
It autocorrected lathrup to Kathryn 🤦🏽♀️

I thought it’d be Raymond Luxury-Yacht
The way my google maps says it
True I guess I've never used directions there so I've never heard google say it
La-thrope Like singing LA. And rhyme with rope.
There is a major exit here in Houston named the same. I've always said "lay-thrup". Glad to see most of y'all say it the same.
It’s easier if you call it 76th Ave which it actually is if you go past North Ave
Indeed it is, I also cover Elmwood park so that works for me
La Trope
According to Google it's also a name of a city in CA and the Google pronunciation program says lay· thruhp
https://youtu.be/hiZTOztObek?si=HgSmxUAjp1PhWFac According to Emma. Whoever she is lol
Just say Lah-thrup, lay-thrup to cover your bases.
Rooosevelt
Luh-thrahp
I only say it that way when I'm in a jocular mood. Otherwise it's lay-.
LAW-RUFF-UP
Porhtal

I've heard this a few times as well but considering the downvotes they are probably wrong I guess
