“Dear PoPville,
A really nice woman who works at the Adams Morgan 7-11 fell victim to a car-jacking Monday night/Tuesday morning.
Her car was parked in front of the store at 2am. The car jackers didn’t know how to drive stick, abandoned the car and peeled out in the getaway car, not before side swiping her car, mangling the wheel well, shattering her window and rendering her car inoperable. As she told me she is “underinsured.” Meaning she’s paying for liability only.
Impossible to share insurance information with a car-jacker.
She’s a lovey person, from Ethiopia, with whom I have talked about the recent unrest there on so many occasions during the pandemic.
I hope we might be able to demonstrate some community support for her, be it a GoFund Me or some recommendations to appeal to 7-11 corporate or local entities that may have grant funds to apply to people who are indirect victims of violence.”

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!
