Pronunciation edit
It would be nice to know the proper pronunciation of this town's name. Scriptor Rex 00:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Cholame pronunciation edit
In the one building "town " of Cholame CA (where James Dean died on 9/30/1955), they pronounce the name of their town as "sha-lamb" with the emphasis on the second syllable. It sounded to me a lot like "Shazzam!" the old Capt. Marvel (??) expletive.
In Parkfield, 10 miles up the road and the earthquake capital of the world , they pronounce it "Shlamb" like in "don't Shlam the door!"
One can win bets on this pronunciation; no one who doesn't know ever gets it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimcurl (talk • contribs) 04:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
