"ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æn" is a noun describing a person, not a place -- never "ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æn city," for example.

"The professors are longtime ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æns."

When you're not using "ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ" as a proper noun, use it as an adjective to describe things.
"Lots of us who live in ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ love to eat ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ salmon and berries."
