“Dear PoPville,
In March, my trash can was gone when I went to bring it in from the curb at 8am. It was clearly marked with our house number, and we looked and never found it. We live in Mt. Pleasant. On March 23, I called DC DPW to inquire about next steps, and submitted the $45 charge the same day online for a replacement.
After several polite check-ins with DPW and reassurances and apologies on their part, we still do not have a trash can.
Is this typical? What is going on? Wondering what readers have experienced.”
I guess this answers my question about this one.

I love DC, I stayed through some difficult years in the early 90s. Almost all my life's great joys & heartbreaks have happened here. But the push for us to become an elite world-class shinning-city on a hill is undercut by our failure to provide basic city services to our people https://t.co/J17ERpNnUA

And on the 76th day the lord provided @BryanWeaverDC and @MariaTCardona with a city trash can. And while he may be a benevolent lord, he’s still a jokester so no recycling can. @DCDPW pic.twitter.com/b2e4BxZ1OZ

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!
