When I first moved to the area many moons ago, I lived in Billerica. I entertained many locals by telling people where I lived.

Massholes on whole pronounce it bill-ricca, but the townies themselves (at least used to) say "brikka".

The video was great, although it missed the issue with pronouncing "ham", e.g. Waltham vs Wareham. Maybe that can be Part 2.
