Some of the most celebrated cherry trees, the sakura (cherry blossom tree) and the shedarazakura (weeping cherry tree), have the most attractive blooms.
At a minimum, you can expect a beautiful sight for at least a few days before the peak bloom date and at least a few days after. Sometimes they can be out for a couple of weeks. How long they’re out depends on weather condition
The day the cherry blossoms reach peak bloom is not, of course, the only day you can see the flowers.

The Cherry Blossom trees are so nice..

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
