2014 Wooster Square Blossomation Update!
We made it to March! There is light at the end of the tunnel. Cherry Blossom Festivals around the world are just beginning. Leading the way, Japan, of course, who invented Hanami, or blossom viewing over 1000 years ago,
What is nice that you feel the sun now, it actually feels warmer, like laying in a tanning bed in a meat locker. But warmer nonetheless. The Wonderful World of Wooster Square is one frozen iceberg, with just patches of melting from the sun.
You know what likes the sun too? Our super salient sakuras, that's who. Even though the temps have been south of freezing, even though the ground has been snow covered since who knows when... it's that hot big ball in the sky that is drawing out some of Historic World Famous Wooster Square's first signs of spring!
That's a lot of neck bending and sake sipping,
Sweet Studious Sakura Square Supporters!!

Japan Sets Stage for
Sakura Sight Seeing
Japan loves their Hanami Heaven
so much that is can last from March 5 (this years first blooms) through sometimes into May. That long you ask? Well, they planted them all over the Islands so they mature according to their location. To make it easy, they
make a map and you grab some sake and a couple of months worth of food and make a vacation out of your Honorable Heavenly Hanami experience.

Washington DC sets
Peak Poppadge Dates!
For those new to the blog, the art of Cherry Blossom prediction is a fluid process. So many factors go into when they will bloom, that predicting them correctly is like finding a weatherman to give you the right forecast every night!
Peak Poppadge is described as when 70% of the trees are peaking.
Sometimes they are right, sometimes they are literally laughably lousy, lucky loser like.
But Washington D.C. has the
National Park Service
as its Peak Poppadge Authority and they set the standards that all blossom predictors use for their Cherry Blossomations.
So they should be right, I mean they have a
$2,750,000,000 Annual Budget.

March is a when we start getting news from Japan to Washington DC of when their precious pink pretties pop! Along with all sorts of charts and figures.
All of this data is fed into the
Blossom Blog Mainframe,
ingurgitating to assay rather importunately.
Then I just take a Wicked Wonderful Square

Before we see what all the dates are for Japan and Washington, let's see what else we can find in the frozen tundra... formerly know as Wooster Square!

Big Man on Campus
In case you don't know, Bill Iovanne, Jr,
(that is his families well respected funeral home,
a fixture on Wooster Square)
dug out World Famous Historic Wooster Square with his bare hands. Well, not his bare hands, but with his own guts and determination. Lot's of Benjamins too.
He brought in huge construction equipment, huge dump trucks, plows, tow trucks and New Haven's Finest and lots of coffee and doughnuts.
They worked all through the night digging out and finished at 4:30 in the morning.
Thanks Bill! You came through again.
