	This is a fun idea, but the problem is that many of these nicknames have been adopted by multiple cities. "Queen City", for example, applies not only to Cincinnati but also to Allentown, Bangor, Buffalo, Burlington, Charlotte, Cumberland, Denver, Helena, Poughkeepsie, Seattle and Souix Falls.

	Saint Louis should work. 2 minutes is not enough time for me.

	Ummm, i've never heard of denver being referred to as the queen city. 4th generation Coloradan. Cincinnati is very commonly known as the queen city.

	Good quiz. Agreed: Cincy is Queen City. Two minutes is a good amount of time; any more would give time to try every major city in the country.

	Fun quiz. You could also add "Crescent City".

	I have always heard of Portland as the "Rose City".

	I wish you'd said 'American' in the title. Sheffield is the real Steel City! :D

	@flexabull Yes, Portland as a city is the Rose City, named because of the International Rose Test Garden. The city throws a rose festival once a year to celebrate this fact. Rip City is a coined phrase relating directly to the Portland Trail Blazers, and while it may have started this way, the city as a whole has adopted the nickname as their own. However, I don't think this has translated well outside the Pacific Northwest. Seeing how the link lists Portland as "City of Roses" only, and Rip City is the first on the list, I would venture a guess that MCX1110 is a local, which as I mentioned, to locals Portland is known as Rip City.

	@rockgolf: Music is the section below this one. We're in Geography Land. Agree that it should specify US Cities, though there are quizzes already contributed on this subject.

	I feel like you should have to do this in order.

	I concur that you should specify "American cities" in the description. Hamilton is the Canadian Steel City!
