You really think the photo on this year’scard is “bad”? I realize art is subjective but that is…a take for sure.

Did you go in the morning or something to avoid people?

Peak bloom on a 75 degree Sunday? That’s a couple times a century.

Yeah, the disappointment is because metro has done better in the past and totally could partner with local artists or at least get a good photograph if that want to go that route…

Or you could take the Metro. Get some exercise and help the environment.

It was insane. Seriously people. Parking on a literal highway is not safe

I've never had a car in DC. I have a great life. And never once had to worry about traffic or drinking and driving. And I lost 15 lbs my 1st year here cause I gave up my car and started walking more. It's fantastic.

And then we wonder why 70% of Americans are overweight...

Yep, they were. Southbound lane on the bridge. Saw a dad pushing a stroller with kids trailing behind, meandering north in a 395 travel lane. Folks were parking and climbing the rail to walk back north in the bike/walking path. Lunacy. Not a cop in sight.

When I drove by, it didn't look like it. There were also people unloading in the middle lane (because the right lane was all parking) on the transition from 14th Street to the bridge, so there was only one travel lane.

This. Remember last week the weather wasn't great either except for Thursday. Pent up demand. Basically if you don't get to the Tidal Basin by 10 crowds were insane.

It must be the new metro fare gates scaring people from jumping on

Holy fuck, they’re beautiful but they’re just trees! Take the damn metro! What is wrong with people?

Well, it is DC. Doesn’t particularly have a good track record of enforcement usually

As someone who lives in D.C. without a car, I really, really wish the MARC Brunswick line could facilitate a day trip from D.C. to Harper’s Ferry. But the timetables just don’t allow for that :(

Perhaps install part of it underground? A subterranean train of some sort.

Maybe bc of the kite festival happening at peak bloom, on a perfect weather day, when yesterday was such shit weather? I didn’t make it there but heard crowds were epic

They. Are. Flowers.
They exist elsewhere.
They aren't special.
The whole goddamn city shuts down for this stupid thing every year. The trash and traffic, the inability to get to work on time....
It's Sturgis, but with...FLOWERS.
