Thanks to all who sent links. Back in late March we learned that the group that owns Hawk ‘n Dove, Senart’s Oyster House and The Chesapeake Room had filed for bankruptcy. Now the Wall Street Journal has a wild update:
“Investors who bought several restaurants that fueled the dining boom in Washington, D.C.’s Capitol Hill neighborhood are accusing the D.C. restaurateur who sold the eateries of sabotaging the restaurants in a scheme to take them back. And they want their scooter back, too.”
Read the full story here.
Another interesting tidbit from the story is that it reveals how much the restaurants made in 2012 and 2013:
Chesapeake Room – (2012)$1,866,632.13 (2013) $1,398,753.27
Boxcar Tavern – $2,164,337.81 $,518,616.22
Lola’s Barracks Bar & Grill – $1,942,360.60 $1,460,913.78
Molly Malone’s – $2,341,216.04 $1,830,501.34
Pacifico Cantina – $1,774,920.69 $2,294,417.39
Senart’s Oyster & Chophouse – $1,826,282.32 $1,379,095.55

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!
