Nicknames for places I live near: EPA, RWC, "the cats" (for los gatos). San Francisco is called “the city” or SF, and never ever does anyone call it San Fran.
Stanford has a lot of nicknames for places: MemChu (Memorial Church), MemAud (Memorial Auditorium), TresEx (Tresidder Express, a store), FloMo (Florence Moore Hall), FroSoCo (The Freshman Sophomore College)… the list is too long to recall, really.

Menlo Park has alot of little areas to it as well. The Willows, Allied Arts, Sharon Heights,Suburban Park etc. Ahh.. I miss it. (kind of) I don't go down there often enough.
