The Great Sweet Basket City? I've always heard of Charleston being called the Holy City.

[DetroitBazaar]

"It SHALL Rise from the Ashes!" Believe it now or later. You choose.

Peace to Detroit! Once again my friends

[davidals]

A few good ones, especially the city nicknames. The guru forgot about

Los Angeles - el lay

Comparative nicknames are really uncreative, but I've heard Boone NC described as "The Boulder Of The East," and (I lived there for several years) boy is it an outdoorsy/Birkenstock/bong hits-kinda town.

Whoever said NYC is the city that never sleeps has never been on the 6 train anytime after 10pm.

i alway associated that quote with Las Vegas. It really never does sleep. thats why Vegans get pissed when they travel elsewhere, because they're used to stores that never really close.

[Simple Simon]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the great metropolises of Metter, Ga. and Snellville, Ga. :>)

Metter - "Everything's better in Metter"

Snellville - "Everybody's somebody in Snellville"

[iuB1673]

Nashville will always be Music City U.S.A

honorable mention Athens of the south and Cashville if you are nasty

Charlotte I like Queen city , I don't like crunkville and who came up with that list in the first place.

i like chattanooga's nick name dymo of dixies but i also like chatt -town...

Cincinnati is the real queen city. Charlotte is typical southern sprawl, ala Atlanta.

Hell yeah . And not afraid to rest their heads on your shoulders. Complete strangers falling asleep on your shoulders.. I just give a polite but firm nudge, they wake up and do it again..

A few months ago Grand Rapids, MI actually adopted a new slogan

Grand Rapids - Keep It A Secret

I'd love to tell you more about it, but I have to keep it a secret

[txstl]

Playing off the popular "Keep Austin Weird" bumperstickers that refer to supporting local businesses, San Antonio is now sporting the "Keep San Antonio Lame" sticker and the Aggies in Bryan/College Station have introduced "Keep Bryan Normal".

"Keep Austin Weird" is still probably second running to "Music Capitol of the World" that the Chamber of Commerce and others push.

[willrusso]

Raleigh, NC - "The City of Oaks" lol

[burt]

Richmond used to claim: "Down where the South begins."

Now, I think its slogan is "Easy to Love."

[Charlotteman]

I always thought Atlanta's slogan was the best in the country---- The City Too Busy To Hate.

Seattle is called the Emerald City but doesn't have a slogan that I've ever heard. So I made up one:)

"Welcome to Seattle, a beautiful city where anti-social personalities crowd impossibly with other anti-social types"

[Charlotteman]

In the 1970s Seattle's slogan was "would the last person out of Seattle please turn off the lights?"

[AlabamaGuy2007]

Birmingham:

"Birmingham feels like a celebration"

[jackindabox]

1. What Happens Here, Stays Here. Las Vegas, NV

2. So Very Virginia. Charlottesville, VA

3. Always Turned On. Atlantic City, NJ

4. Cleveland Rocks! Cleveland, OH

5. The Sweetest Place on Earth. Hershey, PA

6. Rare. Well Done. Omaha, NE

7. The City Different. Santa Fe, NM

8. Where Yee-Ha Meets Ol

[queensguy06]

I don't get why San Fran is 'Baghdad by the Bay'. Is it rich in oil? Are they about to have a civil war? Was their government overthrown by the U.S.? I definitely don't see sand or 100+ temps.

[queensguy06]

Cincinnati is the real queen city. Charlotte is typical southern sprawl, ala Atlanta.

Ah, good ol' Cincinnati. It was the Queen City back in the 1800's, but now it's more of the crack of Ohio.

[nowensone]

Cincinnati is the real queen city. Charlotte is typical southern sprawl, ala Atlanta.

It has it's sprawl, true, though will never be as bad as ATL's because it is earlier along in the process by a few decades, and is making efforts to stop it now. Of course, that is irrelevant to who is the real Queen city. Since Charlotte was named after a queen, and the county it is within the place she was from, says to me which has a better claim to the title. Not to mention Charlotte incorporated in 1768, 20 years before Cinci, putting any timing arguments to rest. I could go on, but do not want to seem offensive about Cinci which is a place I like. Just want to address who the nickname should "belong to".

[JDC]

Raleigh, NC - "The City of Oaks" lol

Raleigh also uses "City Life, Carolina Style."

We were just assigned a new slogan next door in Durham: "Where Great Things Happen." It's quite possibly the worst, most generic city slogan I've ever heard.

[tennreb]

Memphis: "Home of the Blues, Birthplace of Rock'n'Roll" (I always thought they should add "...The Soul of the South")

Oxford, Mississippi: "We may not win every game, but we ain't never lost a party!" (home of the SEC team Ole Miss)

[UrbanSprawl]

Fort Worth, "Where the West Begins"

Dallas, "Live Large Think Big"

Memphis, "America's Distribution Center"

[Queens Tony]

Charlotte was indeed named after the Queen of England way back in the day (sorry Ohio), so "The Queen City" is definitely acceptable, and encouraged. It also has Queens University of Charlotte (Go Royals!) to add to the claim. The "Crunkville" is a bit off those, Charlotte need much more ofa nightlife to even consider giving it that nickname, its not exactly a crunked up place, besides, Lil Jon and the Ying Yang Twins would put the ATL on the top of the list of Crunkest Cities. Charlotte has also been called the "Hornet's Nest", because of its resident's resistance to troops back in something hundred and whenever, that why we had the Charlotte Hornets before they skipped town. I like QC, crunk or not.
