“Dear PoPville,
I could use a little help from my fellow Washingtonians. Today, I was trying to switch to a new cell phone provider and upgrade to a new fancier iPhone when I encountered a problem that I haven’t heard of before.
First of all, I selected Consumer Cellular based on recommendations from PoPville. Everything was going effortlessly..I was getting a plan that actually worked for my needs, saving loads of money, and the customer service was delightful. I had picked out a new iPhone that would cost me $50 down payment, and enrollment in a payment plan of $25/month for 22 months …and then I got the error message (see attachment above):
“due to legal limitations we cannot offer the EasyPay option to residents of Washington, DC”
What? What the what? I either pay the full price of the phone now or pick out a new more affordable phone. I don’t flipping want a flip phone! (well, actually I do think they’re kinda cute, but that’s beside the point) I am a US citizen gosh darnit. Why can’t I pay way to much money for a smarter-ish smartphone in 22 easy monthly payments??
Have you heard of this before? Did I miss something when I signed away my voting representation to be DC resident?”

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!
