“I can’t for the life of me figure out why the restaurants are closing north of Dupont Circle. It’s become a food desert for us office workers stuck here Monday-Friday. Sure, Smashburger,Potbelly, and eventually Fuel weren’t gourmet, but they got the job done. I never thought I would say this, but I actually miss Cosi.
The few options north of Q Street that are 1.) fast 2.) casual and 3.) less than $15 are Glen’s (which is great, but the service is not that streamlined and that makes a huge difference when you only have 30 minutes to find lunch and eat it) and the Soho Market that just opened up by the Hilton, which also has a huge problem with lines and efficiency during prime lunch time.
I get that the area has rats – I’ve worked here long enough to know not to look too hard in corners or down alleys. But the rat problem has been here for the last 10 years. What changed? I usually bring my lunch now (which is cheaper and healthier, sure), but on the days where I forget or don’t have time to make one, I’m stuck with whatever is left at Soho or Rite Aid. I would do terrible, unspeakable things to get a Pret to open up around here. Is there hope for new proprietors, or should I start lobbying my higher-ups to move elsewhere?”

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!
