Ed. Note: We spoke about a similar situation in the beginning of June but things appears to have worsened as I continue to get many queries similar to the one below.
“Dear PoPville,
My partner recently purchased a used motorcycle from an individual and is now trying to get it registered. DC DMV is saying they are operating on an appointment only basis, but appointments are not available until December. We called 311 and connected us to the DMV who informed us our only options are to make sure to park the vehicle not on a public road and to keep checking the system for canceled appointments.
We asked about how to get temporary tags so he can drive it to work (he bought it with intentions of being his primary vehicle) and they said we would have to make an appointment for that as well.
Does the PoPville community have any other suggestions? I can’t imagine we’re the only ones who bought a used vehicle not from a dealership during this time. Should I write “appointment at DMV in December” on a piece of paper and stick it on the back of the bike? Should we attempt to walk up to a DMV? Or are we really supposed to keep refreshing the appointment system hoping for a cancellation? (Also is there even any incentive for cancelling an appointment as opposed to not showing?)
Please help!!”

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!
