” So you may know this but I thought this an odd little fact, I was getting some google directions and this is what came up for T Street NW:
Turn left at Duke Ellington Ave/T St NW
You are out and about the city all of the time, any idea when that happened?”
I had heard that Duke Ellington lived on T Street at one point (the residence pictured above is from 13th Street). But I hadn’t known they renamed part of T Street after him until I read your email. So I did a bit of searching around and the great Washington Post writer, Marc Fisher, found the answer back in Oct. 2007. He writes:
“D.C. Council member Jim Graham is proposing to rename two streets in Shaw for Duke Ellington and Chuck Brown, creating the possibility that you could one day, as a prelude to a kiss, or if you just need some money, head over to the corner of Ellington Avenue and Chuck Brown Way. That would be at the current intersection of Seventh and T streets NW.”
Super cool.

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!
