What is your hometown and it's nickname?
I want to draw your hometown in minimal and I want to know it's nickname as I am relaunching my Minimalist Cities Series!
As I was looking for some new inspiration for today's Steemit post, I came across this old beauty and somehow refound my motivation for this!
(Slang) nicknames make it homey
Point about these series is to give a minimal but somewhat homey impression of one's hometown. That's why I would love to include nicknames of cities. I found this article which provides a list of some cities and their nicknames - however as someone from Amsterdam - I have never heard of The Venice of the North, and yet it is listed here.
I am looking for those (slang) nicknames which are only known or used by locals.
A long time ago, I made a minimalistic map of Amsterdam.
I like minimal shiz and well.. Amsterdam is my hometown. I want to relaunch this because I think it's still prettay awesome and I am looking for more inspiration! It will become something like this :D
Comment your hometown and it's nickname below!
I will most likely start out with the capitals. They're simply easier and more likely to be recognized! However, do not hestitate to request your smaller hometowns

My home town (village) does not have a nickname but its name is an mashup for words for "mountains" and "sheep".
Sounds very village-y indeed, hehe. Where are you from?
Slovakia and Im not sure it there are any sheep anymore. They used to be.....some.
very creative person you are..
Why thank you!
this is a good friend, my hometown is very beautiful I am proud to live in the village, because the air was very fresh.
Oo, where are you from :D

very good post friends.
Lusaka, Zambia. Nickname - LSK
That's cool,
I am from western part of Indonesia, the city is also called as City of the king ( translated from the local language)
Ohcool. What city is this? :d Super curious about the Indonesian name by the way!
cool idea. I don't think Diss has a nickname.... but it does have a portal to hell right in the center!
That sounds a lot like fun! All the cool people are in hell.
Ooh what a rad idea! My hometown is Ringwood NJ - and everyone called it The Sticks well because it’s mostly lakes and forests :)
Oooh, that sounds super cute! I checked it on Google Maps and it seriously in the middle of green!
haha yes it was a bit like growing up in middle earth <3
Cool idea! My hometown is Vienna (Wien) - Austria. Nickname: "Wean"
Ha thanks! And Wean sounds quite swaggy! "Where do you live?" "Weeeean yo".
haha yea, except it's not wee-an, it sounds more like the english word van but the a vowel is mixed with an e (but more like from the word "less" than from the word "we")
This was so interesting!
Its great post I think....@sjennon
