“Dear PoP,
Over the last several months, I have made an observation that I can’t seem to make sense of, and I was hoping that you could clear up my confusion. I live in Columbia Heights, but occasionally travel to Alexandria on the weekend. This is an easy enough trip– hop on the yellow line at Columbia Heights in the direction of Huntington. However, for the last several months, I have noticed that there are no yellow line trains at the Columbia Heights (or U Street) stations in the direction of Huntington on the weekend. The board in the station only displays anticipated arrivals for green line trains, and simply waiting for a yellow line train has proved a failure. Instead of boarding a single train, I am forced to transfer at Chinatown (or Mt Vernon Sq) with standard weekend wait times between trains. Despite this lack of service, trip planner on the WMATA website continues to list departure times for yellow line trains from Columbia Heights toward Huntington and no relevant service disruptions are present on the website. Moreover, there still appear to be yellow line trains traveling in the direction of Fort Totten, so the suspended service is only heading out of the city into Virginia. I don’t do this weekend trip very frequently, but my experience has been consistent.
Has anyone else noticed this? Any clarity would be greatly appreciated!”
I know I’ve still been able to catch the yellow line over the weekends – have others noticed any changes in the yellow line over the weekend.
I know it’s possible in the future that it could get cut/reduced in budget cuts but to my knowledge that has not yet occurred (and hopefully never will!).

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!
