WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR CITY?

What aspect or feature of your city distinguishes it from others. Is there something about your city that is rare compared to others? What does your city have that few others (if any) have?

Take my two cities for example: a) Panama City (were I was born) has a metro population of 1,225,000. As one of the smallest countries in the world, Panama's population is barely over 3,000,000. Isn't it remarkable that close to half the country's population live it it's capital city? Only Singapore (that I know of) has more people (90%) living in it's capital of the same name.

b) San Francisco (where I now live) is unique for being the seat of it's own county. Very few other cities or towns (if any) in the U. S. has the distinction of being a city and county of a given State. San Francisco is certainly the only one in California. It is also the most densely populated city in the U. S. after New York City.
