The standard was set by Mark Twain, and will not change: Again, they were and are: Boston, New Orleans, San Francisco, San Antonio (TX).

Yeah, there are no other cities that look and feel like these. There's a unique overall image that comes to mind just thinking about each one of them.

Orlando is one of the most unique cities in the country for the soul fact of how it was built and how it is set up. Other than that its not unique culturally or anything else like that.

I disagree; I think one of Orlando's most defining features is the profusion of lakes throughout the city. They are so beautiful.

I agree, that's part of how its set up. I was just saying the culture, food people, architecture etc aren't unique. Orlando is mostly made up of people from across the country and world so its has all kinds of cultures, but not a culture of its own. Like a melting pot.
