“Dear PoPville,
For the second time in less than a week a delivery man was robbed on my porch by an armed man.
What the suspect is doing is calling for delivery from local restaurants (Olga & Manny, NY Pizza) and giving them the address of [unit block of] W Street NW (last Sunday robbery) and [unit block of] W Street NW (tonight’s robbery), when the delivery person shows up for the delivery, no one answers the number that called for the delivery. So the delivery person leaves the car and proceeds to knock on the door of the address. At that time the suspect comes from the corner of North Capital and W street and robs the delivery person at gunpoint.
Myself and my neighbor never called for delivery…. the suspect is giving an address and then robbing people when they arrive.
The police said this is the 5th time it has happened
and like I said it happened to me and my neighbor within a week. The police are having a hard time tracking the number because the suspect is using Voice Over IP numbers, and the online company providing the service is some small mom and pop shop overseas.
Can you please get the word out to the Bloomingdale neighborhood to be wary of having delivery guys show up to your house when you haven’t ordered any delivery… the delivery guy will get robbed.
DC offers up to a $500 reimbursement for home security cameras as well. I wish I had one but after this week have one coming in the mail very soon.”

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!
