See for yourself and make your voice heard at a meeting Monday night. I saw the following on the Petworth Listserv:

“The National Capital Planning Commission will be hosting a public meeting regarding the proposed development of the Armed Force Retirement Home Monday night at 6:30pm. The AFRH are proposing to build at 9 million+ SF development along Irving Street, Park Place, Rock Creek Church Road, and North Capital Street. This is as large as the Pentrgon, or 10 DC USA’s, and will bring the equivenant of 2 Nationals ball games of traffic into East Columbia Heights (Pleasant Plains, and Park View) and South Petworth. There is a lot of support in the District Government, Congress, and National Parks service to create a public park, much like Atlanta’s Peidmont Park or Brooklyns Prospect Park in Park Slope, instead of more condos to the land along Park Place, NW. This would still allow for significant development, but reduce the amount and provide much needed green space to an area that is lacking it now, but we need residents to come out to support this concept. |

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!
