That nickname, “The Gem City,”" So what if Quincy had to change it's nickname? (This is completely hypothetical, there is no reason for Quincy to have to change its nickname just humor me) None of those flour and sawmills still are around to represent the city, so what could Quincy's new 2021 nickname be going forward?
