We are heading to Atlanta this weekend with Karen for the Cubs series (suh-weet!) which got me to thinking. If:
Atlanta is "The ATL" or "Hotlanta" or "A-Town"
Las Vegas is "Sin City"
Cincinnati is "The Nati" (or sometimes "Da Nasty Nati")
Indianapolis is "The Nappy" or "Naptown"
Charlotte is "The Web"
Kansas City is "KC-Mo"
Orlando is"O-Town"
Chicago is "Chi-town"
Seattle is "Latteland"
Buffalo is "B-Lo"
Charleston is "Chucktown"
Tampa is "Tampsterdam"
St. Louis is "The Lou" or "The STL"
Dallas is "The big D"
Raleigh is "Ruff Raleigh"
Hell, even Witchita is "Ta Town"
. . .then why can't I find a über cool gangsta name for Columbia, South Carolina? Not having a stellar nickname makes the enitre city seem rather pathetic. So, put your thinking caps on homies - we need to use our brains to remedy this situation super fast.

What about "Cola" for a name?
This might be a really stupid suggestion in this day and age, but how about just calling it Columbia and stop trying to buy into the bastardization of the English language that goes on unabated in this society?
Dear God, I hate da Nati...it's either Cincinnati or Cincy. There's no reason to ghettoize it. I cringe when I see some no talent hack (read rapper) wearing a Reds hat.
Maybe you are just jealous because all you have is freaking "Bean Town"
I know it's completely lame, but the best I've got is "LumbaTown." You can make it sound pretty ghetto depending on the accent associated with it.
Oh yeah - you forgot one that's not so cool - LaLa land for LA. Some nicknames are a little unfortunate.
