Default Calls on the radio

When going to a new airport, the AD would have sometimes something like :
Monroe County Airport, Bloomington, IN

What call should I do ?
Monroe County tower, Cessna XXXX ...
or
Bloomington tower, Cessna XXXX ...

Usually if I listen to what's being said on the frequency before I talk
I could figure it out, but sometimes some airports don't have that much
traffic and it's a little harder to know what is the proper thing to say.


They'll probably answer to either. I'm pretty sure people call KBED
"Hanscom" and "Bedford"... I'm quite certain I've used both - sometimes
in the same flight.
