Subject: natural-earth-updates Does your city have a nickname?
Date: August 17th 2011

Dear Natural Earth fan,

I’m collecting nicknames for big cities, want to help? From the Windy City (Chicago) to Hotlanta (Atlanta), LND (London) to SF (San Francisco). We should be able to type these nicknames into a place search and have the right result come back without fuss. And nicknames are fun. Results will be rolled back into Natural Earth in a future update. Know your city but still curious about somewhere else? Check out Wikipedia and report what you find.

Add your cities to the Google Doc: kelso.it/x/18s

Please forward to your colleagues, thanks!

P.S. We're just about ready to release version 1.4 of Natural Earth, updating for South Sudan and a slew of other changes.
