1931 12th Street, NW
I just noticed that the condos, the Wesleon, are finished at 12th and U St, NW next to the Moderno building. And it got me thinking about new architecture around town. We hear lots of complaints about new architecture/buildings that we don’t like however we don’t hear too much about new architecture that we do like. I actually like this one here and think they did a good job blending it with the Moderno next door. So are there examples of new buildings that you guys do like? If so where? And while we’re on the topic – what are your favorite examples of old buildings/row houses and other architecture that you like around town? Are there particular neighborhoods that have especially nice examples either new or old?
For old school I’m voting Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and Capitol Hill, particularly around East Capitol Street.

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!
