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
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.
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.
because you are thinking of the the Indianapolis 500 which is in the one in Indiana, traditionally the Indianapolis 500 has been the most famous race in the United States while the Daytona 500 is second most famous
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!
But who cares? It literally does not matter
