“Dear PoPville,
I am looking for some guidance and help. I never realized I lived in an apartment with thin walls but now that everyone is home all day, it’s a reality I can’t escape.
My neighbors, a young couple, fight constantly. Not just the normal bickering that we all do with our significant others from time to time but full blown screaming, cursing, stomping matches. It’s daily. It’s hourly even. They both sound irate and they let each other know they are and it seems anything can set one off
– sleeping late, not flushing the toilet, speaking with friends, etc. They also scream at their dog.
The concern is not that it’s disruptive for me and my partner, it’s that I’m genuinely scared for them. I have not heard physical abuse but I can’t confirm it’s not happening either. Either way, I think this could be classified as verbal abuse.
Hearing this fighting so frequently is also causing a bit of anxiety for me so, what would others do in this situation? Should I slip a number to over-the-phone counseling under the door? I’ll take any ideas!
For context: I am not close with them and have only had your basic “hello” moments when we pass each other in the hall.”

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!
