“Dear PoPville,
My boyfriend and I were followed and harassed by a homeless man last night around the Logan/Dupont area. The encounter was rather aggressive and continuously escalated – with him blocking our path, trying to get my boyfriend to give him money from the ATM, and yelling and cursing at us until we managed to run away and call the cops.
To warn my fellow neighbors, I put a post out online. Among the flood of comments I received, I saw reports of a man fitting the description in my post similarly harassing people closeby. This makes it clear that I did not experience a one-off incident, but a pattern of harassment and intimidation.
I have a hunch that some of your readers may have encountered the same man and with enough visibility, maybe the guy can be caught.
I called 911 and the operator asked for a description and cross streets. From there she sent cops to patrol the area.
It happened on the corner of 15th & M St NW around 9:10 pm Sunday.
The guy was a white male, mid to late 30s, 5’6 – 5’8, small build. He was wearing a hood, so hair color was hard to tell, but he had a long scruffy light brown beard. He was wearing a dark-colored rain jacket, had a black backpack, and was smoking a cigarette at the time.”

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!
