Ellen Richardson, a graphic designer and Pleasant Plains resident, recently took her Craigslist hunting skills to the next level with the launch of her blog, Listed District. Listed District offers daily DC Craigslist findings of everything from Mid-Century and Industrial furniture, to bikes and the utterly strange. Every week Ellen is going to share a roundup of some Phenomenal Finds with PoPville.
Architecture aims at Eternity.
-Christopher Wren
Today’s Listed District Phenomenal Finds rounds up a great selection of accoutrements for the architect (and the rest of us). This comes in honor of my partner in crime (and in life), who is currently in the home stretch of his AREs (Architect Registration Examination). – and anyone who has taken them will tell you, it’s no small feat! A total of seven exams test the courage, skill, and focus of only the bravest students of architecture. Dramatic? Yes. Almost over? Thank God.
Drafting tables as a professional tool aren’t as common as they once were – design firms have less room for this size furniture, and the computerization of the industry has rendered these bohemoths less practical. But the pure of heart, hands-on designers out there still covet the large drawing surface and, more and more, drafting tables are becoming a nostalgic luxury. Flat files, cabinets used to store large (you guessed it) flat drawings and materials, have made a huge appearance in interiors as coffee tables, accent tables and more. Consider adding industrial casters to the bottom of one section of flat files for an incredible statement. Happy hunting!

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!
