“Dear PoPville,
Where can I find the best watch parties for the USA v. Belgium game on Tuesday, July 1 at 4:00pm? I’ll of course be skipping out of work early, in need of the best place to watch the game! Go USA!”
@AaronDeNu tweeted:
“We had a blast with you last week! We didn’t receive funding for another screening, so head to the DUPONT bars instead for Tuesday’s match.”
But for those looking to watch outdoors DC Reynolds let’s me know:
“DC Reynolds is stepping up our outdoor TV game with 2 70″ TVs.”
Another reader is interested in learning about some of the “best (under the radar) bars to watch #USMNT tomorrow?”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
