The City that Never Sweeps

Q. Do you know why Philadelphia is known as the City of Brotherly Love?
A. Because somebody with a healthy sense of irony made up that name.

Please post made-up nicknames or mottoes for cities that you've experienced first-hand.

And I've never been to Las Vegas, but I assume a more appropriate motto for it would be: What happens in Vegas...will probably end up on the internet.

I've been to Vegas and it's more like: What happens in Vegas will forever echo disgust and melancholy on your wandering soul, hopefully not trapping you in its greasy, impoverished golden cl... OH SHIT A PLASTIC FOOTBALL FULL OF BEER? SIGN ME UP.

Portland is the Rose City, Stump Town and the City of Bridges.

Boston is the Walking City, the Cradle of Independence and Bean Town. But mostly it's the Tom Brady Is God City and New York's Forgotten Stepbrother.

I like that Cincinnati is named after Rome (Cincinnati means Seven Hills). It's the Queen City and Porkopolis.

Dayton is the Birthplace of Flight and the Biggest Little Racist Town in the Midwest.

Louisville is commonly Falls City, River City, Derby City, but so are a lot of cities.

OH! OH! This is soooo weird. I was just in Chicago this weekend and this VERY topic came up. I'm originally from New York, but I love Chicago so I imagined up the following mottoes:

CHICAGO: Even the urine-filled alleys smell better!

CHICAGO: Fat and proud.

CHICAGO: The other white neurosis.

CHICAGO: Flyover this, bitch.

CHICAGO: Dave Matthews Band shat in our rivers and on our hearts.

San Francisco: Keeping men's pants tight and women's legs hairy
