Default Kansas City!

Kansas City is officially the "City of Fountains," since the only city in the world with more fountains is Rome ([url=http://www.kansascityfrontpage.com/Fountains.htm]Kansas City Front Page - The City of Fountains[/url])

Locals also distinguish between the two parts--Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri--by calling them KCK or KC-Mo. In case you haven't visited, the city straddles the border. While I love Kansas, the Missouri side has more opportunities for entertainment, etc. Some wonderful museums, BBQ, and nightlife at Power & Light District, Westport, etc.

These pictures were both found on a Google Image search, so they're not mine.

Well it's a Canadian city but I'll join in anyway.
Toronto. Hogtown, because of it's meatpacking in the past.
The little apple, because Torontonians think only NYC is better than TO.
TO, well just because it's TO
Toronto the good, Because of it's very strick past when you could not open a store on a Sunday, Booze was very hard to come by and the city was just a real Calvinist moral place. "Not anymore though. LOL
The big smoke. Lots of coal burners in the old days.
Tronto, Because Canadians can't say TOR ON TO.
