Some more good scuttlebutt (and much more coming this week): I hear that the folks behind Hakuna Matata Grill in Silver Spring/Wheaton will be opening a location in the former Cusbah space. This appears to be confirmed by a website called USA Restaurants, and this source has an 89% accuracy rating so I feel very good about this.
Their website says:
“Hakuna Matata was born out of a hunger to share the rich culture of Africa through the food!
We are a mix of relatives and friends who became family decades ago, and we love to eat and spend time together. We love to cook together in our homes, but whenever we would want to eat out, we had minimal options for East African food in the District of Colombia, Maryland and Virginia region.
Hakuna Matata Grill brings the delightful taste of authentic East African cuisine to the DC Metrtopolitan Area. Explore a variety of fine African dishes, with an explosion of flavors from across East Africa, India, and Portugal, prepared by our award-winning Executive Chef Paul “Smokey” Ofwono.”
You can see their menu here. Stay tuned.

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!
