Some people in the Boston area don't pronounce an r at the end of a
word at all. The classic phrase is "Pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd." (Which
isn't allowed, by the way -- Harvard Yard is strictly pedestrian.) Anyway,
the first time I needed to get subway directions in Boston, somebody told me
to change lines at Park St. She actually said "Pahk Street". It sounded to
me like she said "Pock Street", and I asked her, "Polk Street? As in,
President James Polk?"
But I'm from New Jersey, and we pronounce it clearly, same as most
of the U.S. So I'd say "oger".
