I'm originally from Huntsville, AL. Huntsville is know as the Rocket City due to the Space and Rocket Center. Shout out to the Gamma Mu chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Thank God for Harriett Terry wanting to establish a chapter on Alabama A&M University's campus where she taught for 37 years.

Camden - The most violent city in America; twice

Tallahassee doesn't really have a nickname but its name comes from the Appalachee Indian word meaning "old fields". The County is Leon named after the French explorer Ponce De Leon.

It was chosen as the capital city of Florida because it set midway between the population centers of Florida where were Pensacola and St. Augustine at the time. If you know anything about Florida you now how funny that sounds now that P-Cola and St. Augustine were once the population centers of Florida.

I was born and raised in Jacksonville and ofcourse it was named after that murdering. raping, slave owning, Indian exterminator also known as President Andrew Jackson.

" City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection" just has a connotation to me that is not good."

Why??? :(

Whats come to mind when you hear phrase?
Also I always wanted to know why Minnesota was called the twin cities is that the Indian word for twins?
