u can argue that urself. u cant say the word continent has no ceased to have meaning.
Sure I can. If your view is that North and South America are "one continent" and Europe, Asia and Africa are "one continent" simply because they are connected, in some form, to each other, then I fail to see the usefulness of the term "continent" to describe a landmass. It's basically meaningless.
I guess I should elaborate on my decisions: Washington DC: it is an entirely planned city - every road and roundabout had a specific design - at least in the core area. Its original boundaries were a perfect square: 10 miles x 10 miles = 100 mi^2.
-Its also a federal district, so it's unique politically as well.
Chicago: It is known as the "first" skyscraper city- and it's a beautiful one at that. Most other Gotham-city types would kind of follow the trend of Chicago (NYC included).
New Orleans: It is mostly under the sea level, giving it a unique geographic character. It also is known as a french-speaking city, which is unique in the US. It is also one of the US' oldest large cities.
Toronto: I know it isn't in the USA, but this forum is called, "America's most unique cities" - and it certainly is in north america. I feel like Toronto is unique because of the fact that for one: it's probably the only healthy city located in the Great Lakes region. It is booming! And it's the world's most diverse of cities. Ever go there? There is no "majority race". At least to me there didn't seem to be one. it's a great thing! And it's also one of the world's safest cities. I wonder if there's a correlation there?

The city of Chicago was losing population at one time, but the past few years has shown it to be regaining population. And of course, the metro population is certainly increasing.
There's a few about in Sydney, and northern Australia as well. Or so people have told me...
