You hear similar crap in Austin with some of the street names. You hear people say Guadaloop for Guadalupe, or Mancheck for Manchaca. The latter is the one that really irks me because it's so far from how it should be pronounced. I have found it to be quite widespread here, but it does seem more common among 40+ year old Caucasians.
