I don't know whether all of these nicknames should be used, if the name is only used in one source.
2/4/06 - "The White City" isn't a nickname for Chicago. The name only refers to Jackson Park, where the World Columbian Exhibition took place, specifically referring to the white Grecian building structures in the complex. Just as the majority of the buildings are gone (save one), the name "The White City" has also disappeared from the Chicagoan vernacular.
