I'm taking a break from the Sporcle quizzes this week and going back to basics. Your challenge is to name the American cities listed below referred to by each of these nicknames:
1. Valley of the Sun, Birdtown
2. Charm City, America’s Comeback City
3. Gateway to the West, Mound City
4. The Biggest Little City in the World, Neon Babylon
5. Mistake on the Lake, America’s North Coast
6. Rose City, Stumptown
7. Cradle of the Confederacy, Capitol of the South
8. The City of the Big Shoulders, The Second City
9. Birthplace of Basketball, City of Homes
10. Hitsville USA, Hockeytown
As always, please do not use the internet for the answers. Either you know it or you don’t. Please leave your answers in the comments section. Good luck!
In case you were wondering, we got 9 of the 10 correct.
Thanks to Stump Trivia for providing these fun quizzes!

Wow. Tough. I think that #2 is Baltimore. #7 has got to be either Richmond or Montgomery, AL.
Wv: potsk - What Popeye cooks his spinachk in.
1. Phoenix, AZ
2. Baltimore, MD (Ravens Suck)
3. St. Louis, MO
4. Reno, NV
5. Cleveland, OH (Ohio Sucks)
6. Portland, OR
7. Montgomery, AL
8. Chicago, IL
9. Springfield, MA
10. Detroit, MI
Some are straight up guesses. I used to play this game (http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq/usa) a lot, and the later rounds involve city nicknames!
Gilahi - #2 is Baltimore and #7 is Montgomery. We guessed Richmond. Who knew that Montgomery was the Cradle of the Confederacy and Capitol of the South? Wasn't Richmond the capitol of the South? I did like your word verification!
Neena - A very impressive 10 for 10. Gold star for you!
Montgomery was the FIRST capital of the Confederacy. It was moved to Richmond later on.
