The Ahbs

The Ahnold Ahboretum, which is a wicked good place to see trees. Jo Ann Kendricken says it's also "a wicked pissa place to have a kegga on Friday or Sattaday nights - especially on Peetah's Hill."

we called it "pete's hill" - but maybe you just wanted the chance to drop another "R" by saying peter. (i am completely bostonian - BPS kindergarten-12th - but i didn't inherit my fathers accent and won't fake one typing here).

every1 drinks at the arbs.. ive done it at least 3 times. Pete's hill is a great place to see the fireworks on the 4th by the way!

I think that you will find that the correct pronunciation is 'ABBA'. I should know. The meaning can be interpreted in many ways, depending on the way it is said and what bucket you are holding.
