Pensacola is the oldest city in the United States. They say the oldest "continually inhabited" city is St. Augustine, but recent discovery has shown that it Pensacola is probably the oldest continually inhabited city, too.

Achtually sirs, Pensacola is the first city. We were colonized way before St. Augustine. However hurricanes is bad and hit us alot. That's why people think that other place was first. Please correct. Because Pensacola is better and was here first. Thx

Uh... you might want to check out a historical source that's less than a century old, because Ybor City hasn't been a "cultural enclave" for decades. It started in the 1880s as a village for cigar factories and the associated workers, just north of Tampa (and was soon annexed by the city of Tampa). It was initially populated by Cubans and Spaniards, who were soon joined by Italians and Germans, and was known for cigar manufacturing until around 1930.

That industry eventually declined, and the area as a whole also declined as a result. But then starting in the 1980s, it started to be revitalized, and quickly became the primary nightlife / party area of Tampa. Today, the main street through Ybor, 7th Avenue, is lined with bars, restaurants, and clubs, and on Saturday nights in particular, is packed with drunken revelers.

With all the people getting so snickety about Pensacola and st Augustine, I think everybody forgot about San Juan being the oldest European settlement in the US. St. Augustine is the oldest continually inhabited settlement in the continental United States.

But who cares? It literally does not matter

If there are about one-and-a-half million Cuban Americans in Florida, can there really be about a million of that number who were born in Cuba? I would have thought that the majority would now have been born in the U.S.

A qualifier is needed in regard to states where flamingoes are seen in the wild. The American Flamingo has been seen in at least eight states: TX, LA, FL, SC, VA, MD, KS, and MO. A quick check of the species distribution map on Cornell University's eBird website shows many sightings in Texas over the last few years. I also remember reading in one of the San Francisco newspapers, about 35 years ago, about a mysterious flock of flamingoes that used to appear once in a while in the area of San Pablo Bay or Suisun Bay. As far as I know, nobody ever tracked that flock down to determine which species of flamingo they were. Anyway, it is indeed true that Florida is the state where American Flamingoes turn up most often, but they are also rare but regular visitors to the Texas coast as well. Grrr....I am an American, but the only species of flamingo in the world that I have not seen is the American Flamingo, dang it!

What is your metric for measuring "most famous"? The reason I ask is that the other "mosts" can be quantified (total sales, revenue, ticket sales). Fame is individually-specific, and should not dictate correct/incorrect answers.

Every F1 race has 70 million viewers on average, including the Miami GP

The Daytona 500 peaked at 10 million viewers last year.

I've definitely commented this before, but the St. Augustine "fact" is something they write on their street signs and not actually a good piece of trivia.

St. Augustine is the oldest, continually-inhabited, european-founded city in the continental United States... probably. Which is so many qualifiers that it's not even worth asking. Not to mention the fact that it elides native and Puerto Rican history, which are already stories that are too often ignored.

The Daytona 500 peaked at 10 million viewers last year.

Therefore the Miami F1 race is bigger or "more famous" than Daytona 500

Yeah but the Daytona 500 has way more history than an F1 race nobody wanted in the first place.
