Nat Kelso is 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.
Add your city to the Google Doc: kelso.it/x/18s
Cheers
STEVE
