“Dear PoPville,
Have a question, but its a multi-parter. 1) Is it possible to buy land from a neighbor if he has a lot, and I have a little (if he’s willing)? 2) We live in Capitol Hill, so not sure if the historical neighborhood designation matters? 3) If possible, how do you value land in something like this, is it simply the value of the current lot/ square feet * the actual for sale part? 4) How do you approach your neighbor about something like this? “Hey I got a great business opportunity for you?”
In our case we would like to buy about 375 sq feet from our neighbor. His lot is probably around 1500-1600 sq feet(estimate), sans house. He does not have access to the alley. (Doing the math as I suggested, the cost per land is about 350 dollars per sq feet-(going by the tax assessment for our lot)- That would put the price of the land at about 130,000…which is insane. If that is the case then this is a moot point. We want to offer the neighbor 12,000-15,000. Too much, too little?”

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!
