I pronounce it Lewisville, because that's the Ohio way. Fun story, the town I grew up in was founded as Lewisville and then changed it's name to Louisville when they found out there was another town in Ohio called Lewisville but kept the original pronunciation.

In all seriousness though, I'd never heard the "correct" pronunciation until I went there. I'd only heard it pronounced "Ne vaa duh", with the long A sound.

NYT has an article on the (in some cases literal) insanity of the Moscow real estate market. Like anything else in Russia, it's rampant with fraud, corruption, and, of course, murder.

That's just keeping it in line with the pronunciation of the original Worcester in the UK, which is pronounced as "wooster" too. See also Gloucester, Leicester, etc.
