UPDATE: “ALL Roads are now OPEN in reference to 17th & C Street, SW in VA and DC including Bridges”
Well this is odd. Or not really. Earlier today we noted the planned Coast Guard exercise taking place between noon and 2:30pm by the 14th Street Bridge. Apparently there is a suspicious package unrelated to the exercise (though I’m still not 100% convinced it’s a coincidence…I guess we’ll know if it reopens at 2:31pm) Anyway, thanks to a reader for passing on:
“This is a message from the House Sergeant at Arms.
MPD, VDOT and DDOT report that all lanes over 14th Street Bridge on I-395 are CLOSED (north and southbound). Expect significant delays in DC, City of Alexandria and in Arlington County on primary and secondary roadways accessing I-395 North and Southbound.
We understand this will likely impact Members who have flights scheduled at National Airport. We do not know at this time how long the bridge will be closed, and we appreciate your patience as this gets resolved.”

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!
