City Slogans

First let me start off by saying that I have nothing but respect, and love for all the cities and states involved here.. These are some spins that came to mind when a friend asked me if I had to create slogans for cities/places I’ve visited what would they be? So please don’t be offended and remember I’m just playin! Anyway hope you get a kick out of them!

If you can think of any please feel free to add.

Here are some that came to mind:

Greenville: “We gladly cast the first stone”.

Charleston: “Remember the old south, well we haven’t forgotten”

Charlotte: “Does anyone really care that we are the nations 2nd largest banking center?”

Columbia: “Remember your state capitals, well were the one in South Carolina”

The Triangle: “What good PR can do for any-town, USA.”

The Triad: “Living in the shadows”

New Orleans: “The murder capital of the south”

Atlanta: “The other murder capital of the south”

Myrtle Beach: “How much was that T-shirt?"

Hilton Head: “Highly overpriced, highly overrated”

Houston: “LA’s little sister”

Nashville: “Mullets, beer belly’s, and Gueeeitaaarrrs!”

Orlando: “The mouse’s empire”

Outer Banks: “I can’t believe I drove all this way and there’s nothing here?”

West Virginia: (Banjo playin) “Der-na-der-ner-der-ner-der-ner-durn”

Mississippi: (Recall Banjo) “Der-na-der-ner-der-ner-der-ner-durn”

Alabama: “Der-na-der-ner-der-ner-der-ner-durn”

South Florida: “We’ll be the next to secede”

South Carolina: “We firmly support Greenville’s decision to cast the first stone”

Tampa: “Shouldn’t a Florida city look more polished than us?”

New York City: “We are the Jones’s”

Claremont, KY: “without us there would be no Jim Beam”

If I missed were your from then I truly apologize. :colgate:

Heh, we ARE the Jones's... I like.

I agree with the New Orleans and Atlanta slogans. I thought I was the only one that thought that. Too many people on this forum seem like they try to hide it.

heh...

Charlotte: "we're a BRAND NEW shiny city."

Birmingham: "we're a dump going nowhere."

Houston: "Zoning laws? huh?"

Augusta: "Georgia's got another city, you know?"

Greenville: "God's city"

Greensboro: "Our new ballpark makes us an urban mecca."

Miami: "el inglés no va, senor."

I thought it was City* Slogans?
Anyways, I think this thread has really brought out true nicknames for cities that they didnt know about, or chose to ignore. I found many things to be interesting...

Tauricorn, good hospitals. Not so great city.

^You talking about Newark?
My pops told me that downtown has changed now. He said it's actually okay to live there. Back in the day it used to be rough.

I work in Newark. It is turning around, but very slowly. There are parts I would not care to visit alone on foot. But yeah, most of downtown is safe, and very crowded. Starbucks finally opened a store on Broad St. so I guess that says something.The Ironbound district is nice too. Good cheap Portuguese food!

Some of the architecture is breathtaking. Old mansions line some of the streets west of downtown, but they're divided into apartments and not kept very well. It's such a shame.

Newark! I was born in Newark!

I was born in New Brunswick!



Charlotte: America's plastic city.

Atlanta: I moved here, now I'm better than you!

Savannah: We live in the past.

Clemson: North 'til you smell it; West 'til you step in it.

waccamatt, also good hospitals. They don't call New Bruns "The Healthcare City" for nothin'. Great things happening downtown, too.

Lammius, actually, I was born at St. Peters in New Brunswick and I grew up in South River, about 7 miles down Rt. 18. <G>

I walked down Easton Ave. by St. Peters today. I'm sorta familiar with South River. Someone once took me through there, short-cutting to some trashy nightclub in Sayreville. Seemed like a cute little town, but surrounded by marsh.

Winston-Salem

Gateway to the Yadkin Valley Wine Country

Winston-Salem

Gateway to the Yadkin Valley Wine Country

Heh, that is a pretty funny one - thanks for sharing... :)

I've been throughg the Yadkin Valley. It looked nice from the interstate...
Has Dobson got its gang problem under control?

Winston-Salem, the old artsy Northern industrial city that retired in the South. :lol:

I read about that at JournalNow. They say the city's Hispanic population has gotten so large, it's starting to spill over into the suburbs. Small towns are having problems with hispanic gangs now. Winston-Salem does have the highest percentage of hispanics in the state, so it's no surprise.

Dobson is a town of under 10,000 who has a bad gang problem. Drive-by shootings are a big problem. What happened was these big gangs form the West came to Dobson, where there is such a small police force, they can't do anything to stop it. They had to call in the National Guard at one point, if I do believe. Everywhere you look, there's gang symbols on stuff....it is all very sad.

I visited East Winston over the summer, expecting to photograph some cool gang symbols and abandoned Victorian buildings/houses and they have cleaned up that area. Most of the houses I saw were restored. Abandoned buildings were rare and I never did find any gang art to show the forums. Just the typical artsy crowd with their save animals and Anarchy stuff. Those grit threads are the latest fad and I wanted to do one. To my surprise the only gritty area of the city is getting cleaned up. There are no signs of gangs anywhere in Winston-Salem anymore. PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals) is the only active gang tagging there now. I guess the gangs moved into the smaller towns now. The CDC's, Mayor and Sheriff's Department are doing their job. Maybe this will encourage more people to move into the city, where it's safe and there's little violence. :lol:

All this talk of PETA has me hungry for a double cheese burger with onion rings.

JRQ, Harrisonburg is another small town dealing with the same type of problem.

Charlotte-hmm pretty shiney buildings...QUICK! Someone get me a rock to throw!!!
Newport News-Hey!? were part of Hampton Roads right?..I dink so, maybe me and Hampton should ask the Southside.....
Baltimore-"Dude wheres my trash can?"-what?-never heard of those....jus throw whatever you have into the harbor.....
Delaware-Hey, where are we now? oh, somewhere in Maryland.
Orlando-I'm going downtown...hmmm if I take this route, ill need to take about 100 bucks...
Richmond-Ok, I'm lost..where did I-64 go?
Springfield-Which one?
Atlanta-...don't get me started

I've heard people refer to El Paso as the Sh!thole of the West.
