“Dear PoPville,
My husband and I were sitting at the bar [Friday] at 6:30 pm at Shaw’s Tavern having a drink when a man bumped into me and ordered a drink.
Seconds later my purse that was on chair under my jacket fell to the floor and I had a bad feeling immediately. I quickly picked up my purse and checked it to find that my wallet was missing.
I confronted the tall man who was black 6 ft 3 and nicely dressed and said ´you have my wallet’. He responded by opening his coat up to me and saying ´I don’t have nothing, check me, check me.’ We went back and forth like this for 2 minutes and eventually he, I, my husband, Shaw tavern’s manager Rob, and a woman server working there, all ended up outside where he was continuing to say check me I don’t have it, check me. He pulled out a stack of metro cards and I assumed they were all stolen because who has a stack of metro cards. The manager called 911 and the man got spooked, dropped my wallet, and took off running. The police came quickly because the call came in as a robbery (not theft) and I filed a police report.
This robber was stealth. He managed to get into my bag under my jacket and get to my wallet which was under my hat and gloves in my bag. Please tell the community to be alert and cautious. I’m lucky I was not injured during the confrontation and that I got my wallet back. The manager Rob was very supportive and did all the right things at the right time.”

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!
