In other transit news from DDOT:
“Eastbound Closure of Virginia Avenue, NW, Near the Watergate to Remain for Three More Weeks
Due to the construction activities at the Watergate complex on Virginia Avenue, NW, in Ward 2, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will maintain the closure of all eastbound lanes from Rock Creek Parkway to 25th Street, NW, for the next three weeks.
This emergency closure is necessary because of the collapse of a garage at the Watergate on Friday, May 1. Construction teams have been working since then to ensure that the structure is stable and safe for the public.
Commuters should prepare for major traffic delays around Rock Creek Parkway and adjacent roadways. Motorists are advised to find alternative routes to their destinations. Traffic control devices have been put in place to advise drivers of the closure.
DDOT encourages all commuters to stay alert as they travel through this area.”

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!
