You probably messed up the code with a wrong { } somewhere in your code. I tried to change some of the curly braces and it ended up giving this error :

Program.cs(54,45): error CS0111: A member `Treehouse.CodeChallenges.Program.DeserializeWeather(string)' is already defined. Rename this member or use different parameter types.

whats the correct code tho????
