100% of women in DC are murdered. Only come if you want to be next. I post this from the grave.

The Arboretum has different varieties of Cherry Blossoms so they might be still around then. They have information in their app about the different varieties so you can do your own tour. There won’t be as many in bloom at once but it’s still really nice to go. In the Tidal Basin, there are only 2 varieties of cherry blossoms so they all bloom at once.

I know you disagree, you think a shitty building filled with squatters shouldn’t be torn down because you like the look of it. I think that’s dumb

Yeah, I think they will be mostly done. There may be a few left on each tree.

If the problem is “the Metro is so packed with tourists” who have come to town, bringing tourism $ with them (on Metro, nonetheless!)… wow, what a great problem to have! Edit: TBC, I know you didn’t say this is a problem as such, OP.

We biked there a couple of hours ago. The cars had to be in traffic for hours to make it around the point.

I completely disagree. However, you seem to be making a socialist "build for the people" type of argument. And now we're debating economic systems

How long do they usually last?

…Packed with cars mostly with 1-2 people in them. Taken around 1pm.
They reversed the direction of traffic too and its not working out as the Park Service hoped.

Yea probably due to weather yesterday, everyone decided to go today. Plus it’s the Kite Festival today too on top of peak bloom.

There may be cherry blossoms in the DC area but unlikely the tidal basin blossoms will be around.

April 9. And I think the answer is no. I’d go to the arboretum instead

It’s pretty crazy today. Yesterday had bad weather weather so everyone is going to to the tidal basin today

This is going on right now. Its Sunday. And open to cars. Cars parked on the grass in East Potomac Park. Meanwhile empty spots on the other wide of the Haines Pt. Loop.

What cities would you say feel unsafe? NYC? A comparison might help. I think any place can be dangerous especially in the US, a shooting can happen in a grocery store y'know?
