“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you’ve heard anything about The Lane converting to an adults-only space. Got an email [see below] this morning inviting me to join a “one-of-a-kind grownup indoor playground club…” for $299/month plus a $250 initiation fee.
The website stripped most of its language about children and only features photos of adults.
If The Lane is no longer serving kids and families, it’s a huge loss to the community. In particular there’s a ton of families depending on them (and already paid for) childcare over winter break and other days schools are closed. We already signed my son up for a few days of daycamp and haven’t heard if the camp is still running or if we’re getting a refund.
I called again this morning during business hours and it went to voicemail.
KidOvation Stage is running a winter camp there next week and had a meeting with them yesterday afternoon to see if they can still use the space. Haven’t heard the results yet.”

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!
