Mazel tov to them! That's excellent news.

They rock.

I've never noticed flowering trees smelling like fish before. Now I'm wondering if there are any of that sort in New York or some other place where I could smell them.

I should think so. They certainly existed in New Haven. It's one of the reasons I find the Bradford pear a plausible contender; it's not a native species, it's just one of those ubiquitous ornamental urban things.
