Whatchamacallit?
Doral-- not the most common name for a city, so I'm guessing you're probably wondering why the area was named as such.
Contrary to what most of you might be thinking, there's no grand mystery behind the popular residential city's name. In fact, it's really a no-brainer!
Yes, ladies and gents, Doral was named after its two founders, husband and wife Doris and Alfred Kaskel!
And just a side note, if you've been pronouncing "Doral" like coral, you've been saying it wrong! It should be "dr-al!"
Everyone, say it with me-- "Dr-al!"
