New York City compared to the Metropolis Whidbey Island

Living in NYC compared to Whidbey Island Wa.


Instead of the LRR or the 7 train you take a ferry to get here



View  of the city of Langley 




Langley's 5th Avenue, called Main Street. No parking meters, no stop lights.



Our version of say, the Fuller Building and Daily News Building



The two sky scrapers




Note the decoration on top of one:  a crowing cock. Our version of say pediments and towers in NYC


And of course, our  Central Park



Our version of Barney's called The Star Store



Sure, we have grand theaters



And let's talk about restaurants





Here's something you don' see often in NYC.  Regulars have their own coffee cups. These are a really interesting look at who lives here.  Pictures of children, old war badges, religious sayings, political statements. 



Out my window our East River - Saratoga Passage



The cities arent really all that different are they?
