They are amazing. They were planted because of our federal government but I feel like the city has adopted them as our own. It’s so nice to have something widely celebrated here that isn’t coated in the red white and blue. We used to have four set seasons every year, but it’s been changing over the years. Yet every spring these little delicate blossoms bloom. I can’t speak for every DC citizen but these trees mean a lot to me personally.

OK, I'll bite since no one has given you that much of an answer. I mean, I took the MSF class. Street-legal motorcycles have got headlights and taillights, brake lights, turn indicators, speedometers, license plates.

Dirt bikes and ATVs lack all those features that make them street-legal while traveling faster than all of the slower vehicle classes, like me pedaling my bicycle, that don't require turn signals etc.

If you don't like 2 wheels you can get a street-legal 3-wheeler like a can-am. That's what one of the guys in my MSF class had.

But if you want to ride an ATV, lawn mower or golf cart on the street, yeah no it's a city not a farm, you will get blipped over pretty much right away.

How far out of state?

TBH unless you're really into politics and want to attend a specific rally, inauguration, announcement, etc, we don't have a lot of unique events worth travelling for. The cherry blossoms are nice, of course, and there are some events (Art All Night, the Christmas markets, assorted Halloween stuff) that are really fun, but most cities have their own equivalents of those.
