When I went on vacation in the beg. of Jan. I preloaded some posts and on some I accidentally kept the year 2010 so anyway all this is to say I screwed this post up:
“Dear PoP,
Penang on 19th Street appears to be closed for good. I walked by it at lunchtime, and it was completely dark. There’s no sign on the door (I didn’t have my camera with me), and one of my coworkers said it was completely dark before the holidays as well. I wonder if they never fully recovered after being closed for so long after the fire.”
I thought I had heard that Penang located at 1837 M Street NW would be reopening in Feb. Anyone else hear that?
We Judged them back in Aug. ’10.
But now I see that the actually space seems to be for lease. Anyone know the story?
Also I was surprised to see that the Starbucks that was located next door on 19th St, NW had also closed:
And of course next store to that the old Porter’s space remains vacant. Pretty rough patch for this section of 19th.
And further up the block will the former Olsson’s space ever get filled?

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!
