What is your City's Nickname?

[Gooberlx2]

When I lived in Milwaukee it was "Brew-town"
When I live in Orlando it was "O-town"

I live in Denver now and haven't heard any kind of nickname for it (nor did I read this thread, so beats me if it was mentioned).

[edit]
Oh yeah, Mile High City.....but that's long and sucks.

Several names for Houston have already been said - Bayou City, H-Town, Space City (which most folks know the "space" stuff is really in Clear Lake, not Houston).

Several folks mentioned nicknames with roses. Well, I lived in Tyler, TX for a while. Tyler calls itself the Rose Capital of the World.

Chicago, Illinois.

The name Chicago comes from "Checagou" (Chick-Ah-Goo-Ah) or "Checaguar" which in the language of the Potawatomi Indians means 'wild onions' or 'skunk.' The area was so named because of the smell of rotting marshland onions.

LMAO - can't believe "Arcasia" is a word. I feel disgusted every time I hear that word cuz it's cheesy and stupid - tho I'm Asian myself. Oh well... I used to live in Arcadia.
