FWIW, Wiki sez:

Tulare (/tʊˈlɛəri/ tuu-LAIR-ee)

In British slang, "lary" pronounced "LAIR-ee" means loud.

I guess Mathias and Iness would have been known as the 2 larrikins.

Grew up in the county next to Tulare, and we always pronounced it "to Larry" or "tuh Larry" if we were lazy.

Your latter one is probably a better description of how we said it.
Back in elementary school they taught us the "schwa", which we just called "upside down e", and which was more or less a really short "uh". If I were using a dictionary description of the pronunciation I'd probably use a schwa.

I have announced it as "to Larry" and no one has ever come to the booth to correct me.

Tulare also rare city to have a disease named after it: Tularemia, aka "rabbit fever" (ah, the bizarre things one learns as a bacteriology major)

Never knew that, although Wikipedia says its actually named after the county - Tulare County

I’ve often wondered how to pronounce Tulare. I say it like “to Larry”, but I’ve heard “too lair” (rhymes with hair) and too-LAH-ray. Which is correct, or is there another variant?

I just looked up the notable graduates for Tulare Union High School.

Pretty impressive to have two 4-star flag officers - Admiral Elmo Zumwalt and USAF General Maurice Preston.

Was mentally locked onto Tulare HS.

He went to Stanford which has many Nobel Laureates

Bob Mathias was born in Tulare, California 91 years ago today. Again, good work, LopenUupunut.

Mathias was only 17 years old when he won the 1948 London Olympic decathlon (something that would be pretty difficult to do nowadays) .

He won the 1952 Helsinki Olympic decathlon and later went into politics.

Mathias, a graduate of Stanford University, died at the age of 75 in Fresno, California from cancer.

Thank you, LopenUupunut.

[J Rorick]

Must be correct. Tulare is the scrambled word. Sim Iness is the other Olympic champion. Don't know who the Nobel prizewinners are, though.

Bob Mathias?
