I think this been done before but anyone have any fun nicknames for where you live or places you like to visit? Let's not get too nasty, just a little mid-week humor.

I live in Milwaukee - the Brew City -Appropriately nicknamed as I can smell the beer being brewed in the Miller Valley on my daily commute. (Actually, I think it's the hops and/or barley being roasted.)

Atlanta=Hell (particularly in the summer)

Las Vegas = "Lost Wages"

Indianapolis = Naptown.

Though this is from my youth 30 years ago and seems to be fading in usage. Maybe because Indy isn't such a sleepy, little town anymore.

El Segundo CA: "Where the Sewer Meets the Sea" (the Hyperion water treatment plant is nearby)-- rather mean name for a sweet li'l bedroom community

Long Beach CA: "Iowa by the Sea" (a huge number of Iowans have settled there since WWII)-- makes it sound rather bucolic (and for the record, LB is actually a good place to live, IF you know where to settle)

Baltimore = Charm City (if you can hear this said with a Balmer accent, you've died and gone to heaven!)

NYC=Fun City used during the Lindsay Era of grime, crime and apathy

NYC=Big Apple I have heard various reports on this one, anyone have the real reason?

Seattle = The Emerald City

Pittsburgh

Steel Town, Iron City.....The Burgh

the first 2 don't really apply anymore

San Jose = The Capital of Silicon Valley

San Francisco - Whatever you call us, don't call us FRISCO!

I don't know about a nickname for the town, outside of Beantown, but people from Massachusetts are often nicknamed Massholes.

Atlanta = Hot Altanta
Berkeley = Bezerekley

Detroix

Chattanooga - Scenic City

And San Diego is America's Finest City.

San Francisco = Baghdad by the Bay

Worcester, MA - Wormtown
about 15 miles east of Podunk

hell-a!!! It truly is....(except for the nice weather and beaches).

Los Angeles - La La Land

SFer, shades of Herb Caen. I was going to say Bagdad By The Bay too, but because of recent events.... ;-)
