  • Yes. It bothers me when people qualify "unique", as in "more unique" or "most unique". Makes no sense.

    There is not more unique.  Certainly not.  But each venue can be unique in its own way.  Not more not less.  Just original and not contradicting unique.   It didn't say one was more unique. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at November 20, 2019 5:26 PM MST

    They can be unique in their own way.  

    One venue may be unique because it has an ocean view and another can be because it has a forest view.

    No.  Three different places can each be unique (one of a kind).   This post was edited by Thriftymaid at November 20, 2019 7:49 PM MST
