Local pronunciation changing to be easier?

I grew up in Pittsfield Massachusetts. The people here pronounce a lot of words differently. Even the name of the city itself, Pittsfield, they drop the 'd' at the end. There's a street called North Street, where they drop the 'th' sound at the end. They end up saying Nor street.

What is this called in language?
