Eau Gallie is actaully pronounced as \oh galley\.  It doesn't
exist as a town any more. In 1969 it merged with the town of
Melbourne.  Among the names to pick from for the new city name was
Eau Gallie, Melbourne, and Holopaw Beach.  (Now that would be
a weird name beacuse Holopaw is 25 miles from the ocean and
in the middle of the swamps.
