Sudden City

On our company Christmas dinner my boss's wife who just visited from Australia for a few months explained how she thinks every city and target location must be named. New York is the Big Apple, Paris is the City of Light and Malaysia does a good job with advertising itself as "Malaysia Truly Asia". So what can be a name for Dubai.

A few days later in a friend's bathroom I saw the Jan 2007 issue of National Geographic. It has an article on Dubai, advertised on the cover. They named Dubai. It is the Sudden City.

Portland's nickname used to be Stumptown, although I prefer the newer City of Roses. Beaverton is... I'll have to get back to you on that.
