“Dear PoPville,
I recently took a new job in Virginia that is not metro accessible, and my commute requires me to take Rock Creek Parkway to Beach Drive home. The “exit” to Beach Drive under the Taft Bridge is a mess every day.
I’m one of those people who dutifully waits in the long line, while dozens of people try to cut it, which only makes the traffic worse. That said, I know the efficiency of zipper merges, and this basically is two lanes merging into one.
Is this “exit” supposed to be a zipper merge?
Am I an idiot for waiting and boxing out the people trying to get over at the last second? Can we come to any kind of consensus on this? More likely I am just screaming into the void, in which case I welcome others to scream with me.“

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!
