Lilacs: How do you pronounce it?

[Nzinga_Seated]

But for normal folks in my area (I live in the Lilac City), it’s “lie-lack”.

I thought* I* lived in the lilac (lie-lack) city! In Rochester, NY, where we have the annual lilac festival, most of us say lie-lack. I notice that some of the local news reporters say lie-lock.
