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.
well it still shows that there would be 4 continents: austrailia, americas, antarctica, and eur-asia-africa. so it can be useful but people mess it up and create invisible borders, making it difficult to make it useful.
Philadelphia is waaaaaaaaaaay more unique than San Francisco can ever be.
Mostly all southern california cities are nothing but pure fakeness. Seriously
L.A = Overratted
The most unique cities in the US to me are the small towns all over. I mean, it doesn't get much more unique then a town with all Amish or a city built on a plateau.

Contrary to popular belief, Sandusky is the ONLY city to be originally laid out on Masonic symbols (unlike Washington DC, early settlers and local leaders knew and accepted that Sandusky's street grid was to be based on the Masonic Compass). The layout is known as the Kilbourne plat.
Take a look: Sandusky, Ohio - Google Maps (just south of the downtown area are the angled streets that comprise the symbols).
A screenshot from Google Maps:
And if this isn't unique enough, Sandusky is home to Cedar Point Amusement Park (amusement park that has the most roller coasters and most rides in the world).
OK, so after all of that copypasta what was the point of that and why should people from L.A. care about any of that?
Dude, he was being sarcastic. You'll have people say I am going for a vacation to cities like LA, NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, San Diego. I doubt I'll hear someone say I am going for a vacation to Philly.
You missed the local Philly Walmarts, Targets, Sears, Home Depot, Office Depot, Staples, Sams Club, Costco etc etc. you also missed restrooms, parking lots, checkout counter etc etc for all these places.
