Kensington, Maryland, US
Kensington, Prince Edward Island, Canada
Both are cutesy small towns. Both have old train stations. The Maryland one’s train station still operates, but the town is surrounded by suburbia.
“I think I’m a clone now.
Another one of me’s always hanging around.”
I forgot about that one.
I’ve been in several places, both towns and counties, called Orange. But I’ve never been in the OC.

Reading, PA (in Berks County) and Reading, England (in Berkshire). Both are fairly unawesome.
York, PA and York, England; the latter is far more interesting if only because they had VIKINGS.

What about Lancaster?
Vienna, Austria, and Vienna, VA
Durham, UK, and Durham, NC
Oxford, UK, and Oxford, MS
Do Venice, Italy, and Venice Beach count?
Beijing (known as Pekin in some languages), China and Pekin, Illinois
I keep waiting for someone to say Fucking, Austria, and fuckin’ Brooklyn.

Lodi, NY and Italy
Venice, Naples, FL and Italy

Campus of Sienna College (maybe U now) NY, and Sienna, Italy
Cairo, IL and Egypt
Birmingham, Alabama and Birmingham, England

Those are the only ones that come to mind.
Dublin Ireland and Dublin California (I’ve been through the one in Ohio, too): Ireland is better.
Cardiff Wales and Cardiff-by-the-Sea California: Wales is better.
Vancouver BC and been through Vancouver WA: BC is better.
Richmond BC and Richmond California: BC is better.
Border town: Yuma (Arizona & California): AZ is marginally better.

San Ysidro California and Saint Isidore, Alberta (can I count this?): CA is better.
I lived in Albany, California, but I haven’t been to Albany, NY
Oostburg, Wisconsin & Netherlands.
The one in the Netherlands is a bit more interesting.
Nice, California & France
Athens, Georgia & Greece
Lisbon, Maine & Portugal
London, UK & New London, Connecticut
Massena, NY & Messina, Sicily, Italy (close)
Paris, ME and Paris, France.
Vancouver BC and Vancouver, WA–on the same trip although in the case of the latter, “visiting” means the train I was on stopped there.
Granada Hills, CA and Granada, Spain.
I was surprised to learn that there’s an Alsace here in L.A.; apparently it’s a name recently given to an area of the Playa Del Rey development and not, as I thought, a bug in Google Maps. I’ve been to the true Alsace, also.
A long time ago (roughly the dark age of 83) my family was on a road trip and we went through a couple Lebanons. My younger brother had heard about Lebanon on the news and was a bit disturbed, and it didn’t help that a truckload of soldiers suddenly went by us on the highway, merrily waving.
As big sisters, we did the best we could to reassure my bro about Lebanon. We told him it was everywhere and it could see us.
I’ve been to Paris, France, and Paris, Panama. The latter, however, is named after an Indian chief at the time of the Conquest, and not the French City.
The two cities have absolutely nothing in common except the name.
I’ve also been to San Francisco and Santa Fe, USA, and the towns of the same name in Panama.
Plymouth, MA and Plymouth England
Manchester England and Manchester United (states)
I was in Bloomington, IN, Bloomington, IL and Bloomington, MN all in one day. The one in Indiana is definitely the best.
I’ve been to London, England and London, Ontario.
I grew up in Kingston, Ontario, and have been to Kingston, New York.
I live in Ontario, Canada, and have been to Ontario, California.
I’ve been to three Burlingtons in two countries.
Milltown, New Brunswick, and Milltown, Maine, which are connected by a bridge.
