<p>There are about 30 cities in the US that are nicknamed "Queen City" or "Queen City of something". Buffalo, NY (Weidt's birthplace) is known as "The Queen City of The Great Lakes".</p>
<p>However, I submit "Beach Haven, NJ" as a likely culprit. Built in the 1890s as a resort town for the rich and famous, no doubt Mr. Weidt was haunting its clubs and restaurants and tying up his boat at the marina. Beach Haven is yet another aka "The Queen City". </p>
