Dear PoP – Demolition and 16th St. Bus Edition

pastedGraphic

I had a bunch of questions from readers looking for your help.

“I emailed some time ago regarding construction that was going on at the intersection of 13th and Taylor NW at the old autobody shop. With the help of your readers we determined that it was just removal of underground storage tanks as required by law.

Well..looks like they’re back at it again, but this time they are knocking the building down. I’d love to see if anyone can help me figure out what’s going on here since I live right across the street and have seen no permits filed.”

“Have any other readers reported problems with the 16th street buses recently? It seems in the past week the number of buses have been cut in half. The buses are packed before they reach Spring Road it seems. My bus stop used to have one or two people boarding during rush hour, now its almost 20! My commute time has gone from 20 minutes to an hour.”

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!
