Many readers write along the following lines:
“Several police cars sped by while riding my bike up past Meridian Hill park on my way home from work. A few blocks up, at the intersection of 15th & Harvard, officers had stopped traffic and were getting ready to tape off the area. As I rolled my bike by I could see, unmistakably, about 10 – 12 bullet casings in the street and heard the police officer refer to them as such.
This was all in broad daylight – maybe around 6:30 or 6:45 p.m. I am guessing a drive by of some sort – anyone have any further details? Sure seems like there has been a lot of gun violence up in this area lately, though I can’t recall it being this early on in the day anytime recently.”
DCfireems confirms:
“Update – 14th St & Columbia Rd NW correct location shooting”
More info when it becomes available.

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!
