Okay so Paris is supposed to be the City Of Love. But I was wondering if there are or should be cities of other emotions or states of being.
So, for instance, what would be the City Of Hate? Or the City Of Pride? Or the City Of Sarcasm?
I think that Cairo could be the City Of Wistfulness.
Now, if you want to have a go at the City Of Hate, please play nicely…
Atlanta was known as “The City To Busy To Hate”, although I haven’t heard it used lately.
So it’s the City Of Indifference?
In light of recent political events, I nominate Denver as the City of… Wait, What Were We Talking About Again??
San Francisco?
And Philadelphia is, etymologically (is that the right word?)speaking, the City of [Philia: Greek, “love brothers have for one another”] Brotherly Love.
Paris is the city of lights.
Philadelphia is as mentioned above.
Does “city that doesn’t sleep” qualify as a human emotion?
Manila vied with Bogota at one time as the kidnap capital of the world. 
Best Philly story: I’m flying back from somewhere, and I am connecting through Philly. As we are about to land, the “fasten your seat belt…” announcement is made, and ends with “…and welcome to the city of brotherly love.”
I turn to the guy next to me, and ask if he lives here. He says “yes.” So I ask “So what’s up with this ‘city of brotherly love’ crap ? I’ve spent time in Philly.”
He laughs and says, “You know what my brother calls it ? ‘The City that Hates You Back’”
If only they sold that t-shirt !
Dallas was known as the City of Hate after the Kennedy assassination.
BTW: Paris was nicknamed the “City of Light” (not City of Lights) originally because it was a vast center of education and ideas during the Age of Enlightenment. Then in 1828, it began lighting the Champs-Elysees with gas lamps, the first city in Europe to do so, and so earned the nickname “La Ville-Lumière” from that.
Los Angeles: the city of night.
City of night
city of night
city of night
Whoa, c’mon yeah!
I expected Rome to be the City of Fountains, but it seems that title has been given to Kansas City.
Back in the late '60s when I lived in Joplin MO, the city billed itself as the City of Fountains. I think they had maybe three half-assed fountains.
Cleveland could probably be the City of Meh.
Ontario could be the City of Eh.
Newark is the City of What’re You Lookin’ At.
Portland is the City of Slackers.
I nominate Seattle for the City of Crazy. Between the depressing weather, hopped-up hippies, and the serial killers, there are a LOT of people not quite in their right minds around here.
Buffalo is probably the city of Who The Fuck Cares.
San Antonio is the City of Mañana.
The real slogan is, of course, Alamo City.
My birthplace, Johnstown, PA, is commonly known as the Flood City.
You can imagine how that attracts business.
Hey, now…it only happened TWICE!
Baltimore is called Charm City. I understand that was actually chosen non-ironically…
Or the City of … Whuh?
We jokingly call Seattle “The City of Partial Commitment” because of the laid-back, “make no concrete plans” culture. But hell, even the drizzle seems only partially committed.
Are there a lot of Canadians in Ontario, California?
IIRC, London had gas lighting first, which makes sense given the abundance of coal gas and it being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution; and used Napoleonic War-surplus musket barrels for piping (perhaps apocryphal).
