I was born in the midwest, grew up in the "country" .... for a while I lived in "upstate New York" .... now I live in the south.
Is there a name or nickname for the area where you live?
-
I would say that we're in the South, too.
-
Boston area?
-
Silicon Valley!
-
NOVA... People won't say they are from virginia.. "northern virginia"
-
E-town, Pennsyltucky
-
We live in the country.... or the boonies.
-
Beantown, The Hub
-
Oh and people call the city I live in Cash-burn instead of Ashburn because it is a yuppy area...
-
I know people call Charlotte the Queen City but we aren't quite in Charlotte, more so the metro but near the state line with SC. DH calls where I went to school the "country" and the whole area is the upstate (SC).
-
We live in a city called Sparta, so Spartacus (from a movie or something?) and farm town
lots of apple farms around here.
-
Nation's Capital, if anything.
-
@Ash: haha we get the boonies too
-
If you live in the large city nearby, you'd call my town 'in the county', most people from here refer to our town as The 'Burg since the name of the town end is burg.
-
Haha a few!... B/CS, Aggieland, Brazos Valley...
-
"The valley". Like valley girls and the movie Clueless
-
The Bubble
-
I used to live in The City. I have also lived in the west coast version of The City (SF). If you call it "Frisco" you are definitely not from there! Seattle is the Emerald City or Rat City depending on who you ask. The girls roller derby team is called "The Rat City Roller Girls".
Now I live in SLC.

-
Pacific northwest? Evergreen state?

The Valley

I live in Houston...the only nicknames that come to mind are the Bayou City and H-town.
-
@littlek: i was going to say nova, too! i've actually never heard cashburn -- so funny!
-
I guess the nickname would be "The Cape".
-
@Smurfette: hahha
Hotlanta, the dirty south, atl ...
-
The mitten.
-
Windy City, Chi-town, City of Big Shoulders.... well, now we live just outside of it.
-
the jersey shore
-
The heights.
-
@MrsH: oh yes, the mitten

-
This is random, but where I"m from is called by everyone whom is from there "the county". It's because it's rural so there is no big towns, it was for a long time just known as _____ County
-
"GTA" (Greater Toronto Area, not an abbreviation for the famous video game :P)
-
@lawbee11: that's just for our area. There's another too but if you google it it's the only thing that pops up.
-
Midwest and to those that live here it is frequently referred to as "the good life."
