Back in the day Toronto was known as Hogtown.

One of the nicknames now is - The T dot (shortened from the T dot O dot.

It's also been known as T.O

Those are all I can think of right now.

Heres another one:

Texarkana, TX - The Arklotex (combination of Arkansas, Oklahoma, &Texas)

Lubbock, TX area--The South Plains
Midland/Odessa, TX area--The Permian Basin

Vancouver - Back in the early 90's during the huge wave of immigration from Hong Kong, resisdents starting referring to Vancouver as Hongcouver (you don't hear this term much anymore as it is highly derogatory).

The more recent nickname for Vancouver is Vansterdam.

And a longstanding nickname - Hollywood North.

Miami, Florida (especially the southern portion) - "La República de Cuba en el Exilio" (The Republic of Cuba in Exile); "La Sagüecera (a Spanglish phonetic corruption of "Southwest", where many Latinos (not just Cubans) settled).

I call Denver Menver, but I haven't heard it from very many other people. This place is just crawling with dudes, seriously. If you're a young single woman, move here.

The "Metropolitan Area," or "Greater New York."

The best site on the region is http://rpa.org/

Ah, to be young again...

The six county Denver area is sometimes called the Denver Metroplex.

The I-25 corridor from Colorado Springs to Ft. Collins, (including the Denver Metroplex) is called The Front Range (of the Rockies).

It also seems to me that my friends (who live there) call Manhattan simply, "The City."

Well in Chicago I lived in the northwest suburbs. My town, Elk Grove Village, got called EGV, or EG, a lot.

Now I live in Brevard County, Florida, which is part of Central Florida, but our area specifically is referred to as the Space Coast.

Kansas City: simply the Metro

Johnson County: JoCo


Lincoln: Star City (pretty common)
also the Second City (since Nebraska used to have license plates with the format of #-#### where the number to the left of the dash was the county number. Lincoln's county number is 2.) Now the three largest counties have gotten rid of the county number, while the rest of the state continues to use that system.
