“Dear PoPville,
Stolen bike: recovered. Stolen again.
I bought an older model grey Schwinn Moab secondhand about 2 years ago.
It was stolen from the corner of Euclid & Ontario NW in September.
The next day I recovered it at 14/T NW across from Saint-Ex.
A guy had it chained to a stop sign & I confronted him about it (probably not the best idea). Anyway, he willingly handed it over after I threatened to call the cops.
Between 12pm Oct. 15th and 12pm Oct. 16th it was stolen again. This time from the corner of 15/N NW.
Of course, by this point I realize it’s my own dumb fault for having faith in humanity I could leave a bike outside overnight.
However, I wanted to relay my experience with the MPD.
Shortly after it happened I was able to flag down an officer and ask him how to report a stolen bike.
(The bike probably isn’t worth much, but I use it everyday to commute.)
The officer informed me I could go to the nearest police station (in this case, 14/U) and file a report.
But “without a serial number, it [the report] is just gonna get thrown in the trash.”
So, word to the wise, from one cyclist to another: don’t leave your bike outside overnight no matter which neighborhood you’re in.
And write down your bike’s serial number if you (theoretically) want the MPD to take your case seriously.
Best of luck,
Your Adams Morgan neighbor”
Update – of course the bike was locked.

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!
