## What is your hometown and it's nickname? I want to draw your hometown in minimal and I want to know it's nickname as I am relaunching my Minimalist Cities Series! As I was looking for some new inspiration for today's Steemit post, I came across this old beauty and somehow refound my motivation for this! ![666.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZwioVXM1hwJAhCm9p9NbaPwodFEqmT1xgfGcwvC1z9wN/666.png) ### (Slang) nicknames make it homey Point about these series is to give a minimal but somewhat homey impression of one's hometown. **That's why I would love to include nicknames of cities.** I found [this article](https://travelaway.me/100-cities-and-their-nicknames/) which provides a list of some cities and their nicknames - however as someone from Amsterdam - I have never heard of *The Venice of the North*, and yet it is listed here. ![divider](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNmcWoboiKEsGxmbKiPANHjhAw5wFN1Qyr7byRCUBrNke/this%20is%20a%20very%20cool%20divider%20made%20with%20love%20by%20%40sjennon.png)

I am looking for those (slang) nicknames which are only known or used by locals.

It's like Amsterdam is called Mokum. ![divider](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNmcWoboiKEsGxmbKiPANHjhAw5wFN1Qyr7byRCUBrNke/this%20is%20a%20very%20cool%20divider%20made%20with%20love%20by%20%40sjennon.png) ### A long time ago, I made a minimalistic map of Amsterdam. I like minimal shiz and well.. Amsterdam is my hometown. I want to relaunch this because I think it's still prettay awesome and I am looking for more inspiration! It will become something like this :D ![666.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVtxWbMQD1sMJXwUveB21USdJvR5rgQoPNkXmXrejYfes/666.png) ![6661.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTBkZhSyD9JdkdjiXevXno15njFcDU1hr7FoCkSqiakL6/6661.png) ### Comment your hometown and it's nickname below! I will most likely start out with the capitals. They're simply easier and more likely to be recognized! **However, do not hestitate to request your smaller hometowns** ![divider-long](https://steemitimages.com/DQmP7MNjtQjH77waW6ZepwVFEZKzDiJZabgu62hMZy3gKC4/this%20is%20a%20very%20cool%20divider%20made%20with%20love%20by%20%40sjennonlong.png)
