“Dear PoP,
I was wondering if you or any of your readers know if it is possible to take the P Street Ramp as a left exit from Northbound Rock Creek Parkway during evening rush hour when it is one way Northbound. It LOOKS like you can take the ramp if you are all the way in the far left lane on the wrong-way side of the road, but I have been hesitant to try it since I would miss the Mass Ave exit if I got all the way left to see, and end up having to go way further north than I want to be.”
Followed by a quick follow up with the answer:
“Actually I found my own answer on wikipedia:
In Washington, D.C., the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway between the Lincoln Memorial and Calvert St. is converted from two lanes in each direction to one-way southbound in the morning and one-way northbound in the evening rush hour Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. The P Street exit, usually unavailable northbound, is an allowed left exit in the evening. South of Virginia Avenue, two lanes are closed during rush hours to facilitate the merge to or from Virginia Avenue. There are no overhead markings, but police barricades block wrong-way entrances to the roadway.”
Anyone ever find the Rock Creek Parkway rush hour lanes confusing?

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!
