nyc vs. loa

i knew the place i grew up and the place i live now were different
but are they the same?
i conjured up a few identicals (yes a made up word that works for this)
this is my side-by-side comparison of similarities of opposites..... (don't ask questions, just go with it)

1. sometimes you find yourself in a crowd
nyc
people

loa
animals

2. you can see for miles and miles
nyc
rows of skyscrapers

loa
fields

3. mountains!?!
nyc
man made

loa
god made

4. lights
nyc
man made illumination like you would never believe

loa
illumination is called the galaxy.... and it's a spectacle

5. directions
nyc
uptown/downtown
monuments (example: central park, empire state building, rockefeller center etc)

loa
up-county/down-county
monuments (example: 3 blocks east of the old john doe farm)

here are a few similarities of two very dissimilar places.
sometimes home can be right in your backyard even though it's far away.
here's hoping that when your far away you see some dissimilar identicals that help you find home.
