The nicknames of American Cities
Post 1 of 1
Hello, everyone, I was practicing my listen English recently. And during that times I heard there were some nicknames with American Cities. I feel interested and searched for some related messages, here are my researches, post and share. And the message quote from website:http://radio.weblogs.com/0100945/stories/2002/07/24/cityNicknames.html
The New York nickname as The Big Apple.
The Chicago nickname as The Windy City.
The San Francisco nickname as The Golden Gate City.
The Miami nickname as The Magic City.
The Los Angeles nickname as The Big Orange.
The Las Vegas nickname as The Sin City.
The Louisville nickname as The Falls City.
Below is a sentence show that it's valuable to us.
For instance:
"Hope you have a good stay in the Big Apple!" Here the "Big Apple" means the city of the New York, not the fruit apple was big!
My posting just a few messages about the subject, anyone who knows more information, please write down and share it. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards!!
