A reader reported last night:
“My neighbor at Parker Flats (2035 2nd Street, NW) was nearly mugged just now (around 7pm) & barely made it in our gates but MPD won’t file a report even though 3 guys threw themselves at our gate trying to get him. Basically they said that since an actual crime was not committed, there was no reportable action.
McDuffie’s office got back to me this morning with a link so my neighbor could file a complaint with the police about the officers not filing a report. McDuffie’s office expressed concern. [“That’s concerning. Would the near-victim be interested in filing a report with the Office of Police Complaints?”] My neighbor was chased by the 3 guys who then slammed against our big metal gates as he closed them, but wasn’t harmed. Apparently the also tried to get into an Uber while it was at a stop sign w a passenger on our corner (2nd & V Sts NW) but the Uber sped off and they threw rocks at it. They also badgered another resident w/o was walking his dogs.”

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!
