Cities:
Baltimore - Charm City

Cincinnati - Queen City (Charlotte would like to inform you that spaghetti is not the same thing as chili)

Kansas City - BBQ Capital of the World (Memphis would like a word...)

Memphis - Bluff City, I guess. I don't know about any bluffs, but it's the only one I have left. (I apologize to Memphis if they are, indeed, the BBQ capital. I only know that they used to have Elvis Presley wallpaper in the Shoney's)

Miami - Magic City (Orlando would like a word...)

Pittsburgh - Smoky City (I guess because steel makes smoke? Or are they near Appalachia?)

Portland - City of Roses (aka Stumptown.... thank you Blazers for playing at the Rose Garden!)

Reno - The Biggest Little City in the World (a favourite of Elizabeth Taylor's...)

San Francisco - Baghdad by the Bay (wasn't that a poem or am I confusing it with Carl Sandburg?)

Tampa - Cigar City (I swung between this and Miami for cigars and magic, but I don't think there's anything magic about Tampa)

Canuck Bonus: Which western Canadian City is nicknamed Stampede City?

Calgary

I obsessed about all things Calgary when Lanny MacDonald went to the Flames. I also remember watching Stampede Wrestling BITD on some janky cable channel. Fanny Fun Fact: Just as there aren't lakes in LA or Jazz in Utah, the Flames brought their name with them from Atlanta.

I beat you by 4 in the first Bag, and you beat me by 4 in this Bag.

That's dead even by the math I was taught. Maybe they didn't have numbers that high yet when you were in school....
