Nicknames for States? II


In Spain certain cities have got special names such as "Cádiz" and "la tacita de plata" or "Sevilla" and "la sartén de Andalucía".... but the same happens with American States: for example the state of Alabama is known as the Heart of Dixie, Alaska is called the Last Frontier,Iowa's nickname, the Hawkeye State, is in honor of Black Hawk, an Indian chief who spent most of his life in neighboring Illinois! ...If you want to know about it read and listen to Voice of America
