The wind isn't constant there like it is HERE-so I think it's time that all of us here in West Texas start our own petition to get the nickname moved from up there to down here. I mean, who Governs these kinds of things, anyway? Is there some Nickname Agency somewhere here in the United States that decides who gets to use a nickname for a place? I know there are copyright and service mark and trademark laws, but do those also cover city nicknames? I'm not sure if anyone up there would agree to 'play ball' with nicknames-but Midland's nickname--Tall City based on being the city with taller buildings than any other in West Texas in the downtown area-would really fit Chicago with all of the incredibly tall buildings in their downtown area.
