1800 block of 1st Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
I think there was a carjacking of a cab in Bloomingdale last night right at the busy intersection of 1st and Rhode Island NW. It happened in front of the bikeshare/liquor store/Thai place on 1st, around 7:30pm.
I had headphones in, but I heard shouting and noticed an altercation happening in a cab as it rolled forward. It seemed like the cabdriver was on the outside of the cab and there was a person inside trying to get in the driver seat, possibly from the back or the passenger seat. The driverside window was down and the cabdriver was reaching in physically fighting the person inside as the car rolled forward and smashed into a parked car. At that point, the person on the inside threw the car in reverse. The cabdriver still had at least an arm in the window and was dragged backwards and eventually fell on the street. The car sped off southbound down 1st.
There were at least a dozen other witnesses and someone helped the cabdriver up off the road. Someone flagged down a cop a couple blocks away.
It seemed pretty brazen right in a well trafficked area. I really hope the cabdriver is okay and they are able to recover his car.”

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!
