Does your hometown have any fun nicknames?

I don't live there anymore but my hometown is westland,michigan. It's referred to as wasteland. It's not that bad I never understood why it got dubbed wasteland.

I wouldn't say that they were "fun" - but people do like to talk down about the area where I live... and there's a certain degree of rivalry between us and the other town in our borough.

Every time money is spent on one - the other starts complaining "Why do they get this... and we get nothing - again". It doesn't matter that the money came from a ringfenced grant that must be spent on the town that was awarded it by law... "they" are getting something "we" are not. It's like watching children in the school playground fighting over the "good" ball.
