la raconte: comparison between two cities

this blog for a while might seem more like my diary than my quirky observations...but deal.

differences between kitchener and ottawa.

-i hear church bells every hour, not sirerns.
-there tends to be more busniness in what used to be homes. they just have a sign out front indicating lens clinic, or legal clinic, or boutique. it's house house, business, house. unheard of in ottawa. sure, down town there is the odd coinwash or pizza join with an apt above it. but you can tell it's a pizza join with an apt above it. this looks like a house, and you wouldn't know different, cept the sign.
-there are ugly factory buildings everywhere, where in ottawa there are ugly suberbs every where.
-speeking of suberbs...the suberbs in kitchener are soooo beautiful. it looks like a giant glebe. the houses are all different, and there are hundereds of trees...
-the people are actually friendly, not cold and bitchy.

similarities

-i walk about the same distance to get to work.
-it's a city
-it's in ontario
-still near train tracks
