As a DC area resident, the annual blooming of the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin is a much celebrated welcome to Spring and a massive tourist draw. Is there any chance we could get a cherry blossom bloom in game? Technically, it would still be lore-friendly since foliage has taken over DC which means that the cherry blossom trees could still be alive...
The folks on the art team told me yesterday that the Black Tusk literally smooshed all the trees when they rolled into Tidal Basin.
I think there's still some signage in the area relating to the trees though. BibleThump
