Baw-Stun.  Boston.  I am pretty sure that is how you say it. 

I say Que-pon for coupon.  I car Car-mel for caramel, I think out of laze.

I do say New-erk or New-irk.  I think it's the same. 

Norfolk I say Nor-fulk.  I'm not from there, but... yeah, it is supposed to be said like; Norfolk (/ˈnɔːrfᵿk/ nor-fək, local /ˈnɒfʊk/ nof-uuk).  That last one is like no-fuk. 

Portland I say correct, though sometimes the 'a' sounds like an 'i.'  So Port-lind. 

I say Groh-shery store.

Stream is a small narrow river.
Creek is a minor tributary of a river.
Crick is basically a creek.
And rivers are a large stream of water flowing into a channel to the sea or lake or other body of water.

There are differences ;)

I call it a "pop" or "soda."  Sometimes I even just call it a "coke."
