“Dear PoP,
For the five years that I have lived in DC I have lived within a block or two of 14th St NW. Cabs to and from DCA have always gone up and down the 14th street bridge. Today I did a very quick flight out and back and both this morning at 4:30, when the driver all of a sudden just turned off to take 9th, and tonight at 11:30, when the driver asked to take Piney Branch, the driver has said it is faster to not take 14th. Why are they all of a sudden worried about traffic at these ridiculous hours? Are either of those routes faster to and from 14th and Spring/DCA at these hours or is my exhausted paranoid self right in suspecting that they are trying to pad the fare with a little extra mileage? Have any of your readers experienced similar out of character cab behavior lately?”
Anyone else experiencing cabs who wish to avoid 14th St, NW at odd hours? What do you guys think is the fastest way to Reagan National Airport?

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!
