Will the real Queen City please stand up!

I think Charlotte is also called the "City of Churches", and the "buckle of the Bible Belt", but I don't know how often these are used these days.

I've only ever heard of Charlotte and Cleveland having the Queen City nickname. The others are new to me. I grew up relatively near Charlotte, so it was not until college that I learned Cincinnati also held that title.

It seems to me that Charlotte embraces it more than the other cities given its logo and all the "royal" themes around the city.
