How Much Does it Cost Do Laundry in Your Apartment Building?

“Dear PoPville,

I ran laundry today in Dupont. In my building that I already pay 1700 for a studio. Excuse me? A month ago this was $3. No way that two loads of laundry is now $16 in an apartment that I pay $500 more than I paid last year to live in, with no improvements.

Update, my building responded with the following message….

But like why on earth would there need to be a hold of $7 for laundry for every transaction?

While I’m fortunate in that $16 isnt a big deal to have old hold, even temporarily, this could be really awful for someone with less liquid funds. And this is a DC wide company. This is predatory and can really hurt families with lower incomes from doing basic cleaning needs.”

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!
