Which part of J'ville is not for tourists? We all know that every city downtown look nice but you make the wrong turn a few blocks away and things start to look different.

I went back in September and had an amazing time. Weather was mid-high 60s and sunny every day.
It’s my favorite city that I’ve visited in Europe by a decent margin, but as mentioned it’s definitely cold and dark in the colder months. Next time I go back is gonna be during one of the summer months. Such a cool city regardless.

Definitely go if you have the chance. My only regret was that I only spent 4 days. Next time I’m doing at least a full week.

Spent the first 24 years of my life across the river In Arlington. Going for mom’s birthday, so it is what it is. I actually enjoy the cold after 8 month summers in Texas.

It wasn’t bad for high school either in the late 90s/early 00s, get drunk hop on the metro and eff around in DC. Being so far removed makes me appreciate everything out there every year when I visit. Texas sucks.
I do need to follow your advice at some point though, in spite of growing up in the area I never went to see the cherry’s blossoms. My wife would love it. I know they bloomed a couple weeks early last year though.

I was there first round of March Madness for a wedding last year - they were peaking, so yeah, a bit early.
Definitely worth it.
Have fun regardless in Feb

Pyramids are mainly what I'm interested in.
Might see how things shake out over there though as I'd def stick out...
