From WMATA:
“What’s in a name? When it comes to Metro stations, a lot. Station names are important to riders finding their way on the system, and they foster a “sense of place,” often serving as the primary landmark and name for surrounding neighborhoods. However, if a Metro station name is no longer serving its intended purpose, a city or county can ask Metro to consider changing it.
Metro has received two formal requests–one from Fairfax County and one from Prince George’s County–to change the name of a Metro station within their jurisdiction.
Under Metro’s policy, these requests will be considered by the Metro Board of Directors, which can approve or decline the request. The Board wants to know what riders think as part of this process and is welcoming feedback from anyone in the region through a quick online survey at wmata.com/survey.
Fairfax County is requesting that Tysons Corner Station be changed to “Tysons Station,” dropping the word “Corner” from use on system maps, digital signs, the wmata.com website, SmarTrip app, in-system directional signage, and other materials.
Meanwhile, Prince George’s County officials have asked the Metro Board to approve changing the name of Prince George’s Plaza Station to “Hyattsville Crossing.” (The name of the adjacent “West Hyattsville Station” would not change.)
To share your opinion on these proposed changes, Metro has set up a public survey on wmata.com/survey. Responses will be accepted through Monday, November 2, 2020, at 5 p.m.”

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!
