    Does your city/area have any nicknames that it is commonly referred to as?

    Portland is known as "Rose City" and "Stumptown". Seems there is another one but I can't think of it right now.

    Banana Republic - because our politics and way of life is like those third-world Central American and Caribbean countries that United Fruit owned in the 1950s.

    Well, since that silly show "Portlandia" came to being people (mostly those who do not live herer)have latched onto the name and call Portland "Portlandia."

    But "Portlandia" is actually a statue that sits over the doors of the Portland Building.

    SouthSide, cuz we think we run the city lol. Cap City is more common, but sometimes I still hear Murder Capital....hasn't been that in a while but a name like that doesn't just go away.

    The neighboring area is Arrestafield, if I go north it's NOVA (Northern VA), and east is Bad Newz (Newport News, but half them niccas soft compared to SouthSide LMAO).
