The Red Stick City 

The Red Stick city or Baton Rouge dates from 1699, when French explorer Sieur d'Iberville leading an exploration party up the Mississippi River saw a reddish cypress pole festooned with bloody animals and fish that marked the boundary between the Houma indians and the Bayou Goula indian's tribal hunting grounds. They called the pole and its location "le bâton rouge", or red stick in the present day area of Southern University on the bluff of the Mississippi River. There is a monument commemorating the spot.
I'm headed to Baton Rouge or as they say in France, The Red Stick City.

Second City of the UK 

Birmingham without a doubt - 1 million population makes it far bigger than any other insecure wannabe rival.

Birmingham was the birthplace of the modern world inventing steam power and was the first to use fossil fuels to produce power.

The population of the world would still be living in mud huts but for the great inventions of Birmingham!
Birmingham the Second City of the UK we salute you for your great advancement of world civilisation!

third city of the uk

Birmingham/Manchester.
theres no official second or third city of the u.k although it is usually regarded as manchester or birmingham.
manchester has the cultural edge with its art and music scenes. birmingham has a population nearly twice the size of the city of manchester and is why it is sometimes called britains second city, but if that is that is the case the city of london without the rest of greater london boroughs has a population just over a fifth of that of stockport.the west midlands conurbatiion and the greater manchester conurbation both have a population of around 2 million and is why manchester is the u.k's second city.
birmingham is the third city of the uk

Second City of the UK 

Manchester is the second city of the UK. Birmingham is simply a large sewer full of rats, that explains the large population. Manchester is not beaten in anything by any other UK city, and especially not the village of Birmingham.
"Holy crap! I am in Manchester! I love it so much! This place is more like the first city of the UK, let alone the Second City of the UK!"

"Ohhh I need to take a dump! Jump in the car kids we're going to Birmingham!"
