I just don't understand the significance of north Louisiana to warrant an acronym.
I had never heard NoVa before C-D but I understand the significance.
Why does something need to be significant to have an acronym or nickname? Sometimes they are just used by locals, so there is no need for significance in your world.
Whenever I hear or see someone talking about "The City," I automatically think Manhattan. The only reason I even knew that was also a nickname for San Francisco is because I remember seeing it on the Golden State Warriors uniforms.
funny thing is Hartsfield is the largest airport in the world
this is kind of an interesting thread though
I have always been a city/geogrphy geek so knew many but some still get me
nicknames like space city I never before here
SF as the city agree with an earlier poster that unles talking locally (which i the cae in many cities) it is always manhattan to me
IE definately more on here
and I have realized based on pasts that I have mistakenly thought I lived in the mid atlantic most of my life and that the mid atlantic may not be part of the northeast
Orlampa was a new one to me. Also, all those silly contraction names for neighborhoods, like SoCo in Austin for South Congress. In the last few years, it seems every city everywhere invents these silly new nicknames for areas.
Anything that was in an atlas, I knew. I read the Rand McNally atlas like it was a best selling novel. I can't believe people never heard of Puget Sound. I thought this site was filled with geography nerds like myself. As a 12 yo in the Ozarks of Arkansas, I knew of the Puget Sound.
Just saw another thread's title and I want to add Knowledge Corridor here.
