UPDATE from another reader:
“There’s no plan for there to be a halfway house at 711 Edgewood. CORE used the address – without permission of the owner of the property – to apply to a federal request for proposals (RFP).”
17 0119 – Letter, Correction re 711 Edgewood & CORE (PDF)
“Dear PoPville,
Thought the community may be interested in knowing about this/signing the petition…
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has proposed to locate a Prisoner Re-Entry Housing Facility in our neighborhood at 711 Edgewood St NE. This location is inappropriate because of its proximity to a cluster of two elementary schools and a middle school each across the street.
While services and support should be given to our fellow citizens, the currently proposed location is an inappropriate location because of the surrounding schools and children, and their families.
Here is some information about the proposed facility:
300 Beds for males in-house re-entry services,
An additional 150 home-confinement placements.
The contract would be for 5 years.
Residents in the facility would come from 1) inmates who are transferred from a prison to the RRC (Residential Re-entry Center) for pre-release programming, and 2) offenders under the supervision of the US Probation Office who are required to live at the RRC.”

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!
