Lifelong DMV resident here. I will NEVER understand this attraction. What the actual fuck is wrong with the million people every year. Stupidest tourist event ever designed.

Cherry blossoms are amazing, I work in the area and can understand why people book up our hotels from all over the world for it. People who drive down their to try and park are doing it wrong and that ruins it completely for them and a little for everyone else.

Well it's either going here, or going to the source, Japan. Visiting DC is much cheaper for people. Seeing the blossoms in Ueno Park is nice but the cost and time to get there is a bear.

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.
