“any one else experiencing census people casing your building?”

“Dear PoPville,

PSA, any one else experiencing census people casing your building? My DC condo building last night had a person with an iPad spending a lot of time in the hallways documenting units and I confirmed with my front desk staff that she provided ID and was allowed access to the building free-range beyond the lobby.

As unit numbers are already in the property tax records, easily accessed here in DC via the city web site property tax database, do they really need to be coming in to condo buildings going up and down hallways? I am still recovering from being selected for the ACS (American Community Survey, for those unfamiliar, that asks you everything about your life) a couple years ago and it was very creepy, these people waiting in my lobby for hours on end trying to “catch” me and the incessant phone calls wanting very personal information… it reminded me of actually being stalked.”

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!
