“Is it nuts to lease a car in D.C.?”

“Dear PoPville,

My wife and I are in the market for an auto upgrade. For various reasons, I’ve never considered leasing a car before. Historically it seems like the less wise financial choice, plus we don’t care all that much about having the latest and greatest. BUT, given the state of flux and rapid change of auto technology (hybrid, electric, autonomus), getting something newer for only a few years without committing through ownership has some new appeal. My question is, is it nuts to lease a car in DC assuming that we’ll be parking it in our alley driveway and on city streets here and there? Can we expect hundreds or thousands of dollars in extra fees for all the miscellaneous dents, dings and scratches that come with urban car ownership? Are the dealers in the area more lenient or is there special insurance for an auto lease?”

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!
