“Apartment hunting for older residents?”

“Dear PoPville,

After not seeing their grandchildren for a year due to COVID, my in-laws are now fully vaccinated and cleared to visit! In fact, they’re considering moving to DC for a year to be closer to our family and make up for lost time with their grandkids. We fully support the idea and want to help them find a place.

Because of health and mobility issues, we think one of the new large apartment buildings popping up around town would be the best option for them. They would benefit from their living area being on one level, not having much maintenance work, and (ideally) having in-building parking. We’ve never lived in one of those types of buildings and don’t know where to start for apartment hunting.

What’s the best way to find an apartment in one of those buildings and narrow down which building would be best for them? Anything we should know before they sign a lease? Are there other options we should consider for older residents that we might not know about? Ideally, we’d find somewhere in the Capitol Hill, H Street, NoMA, or Union Market areas. Thank you!”

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!
