Any city-dweller will tell you that finding that right apartment is the toughest thing in the world. You’ve sublet-hopped through Craigslist or lived with friends of friends of friends and finally found that perfect apartment with the passable roommate. Then a month passes and the bloom is off the rose. Warning signs start popping up and you’ve realized you’ve made a big mistake. To help you recognize them, we’ve categorized the top 10 best (or worst) reasons you need to move now.
1.
You’re watching “Breaking Bad” and your roommate says, “Ah, this brings back memories.”
2.
You’ll lose your deposit if your roommate implements his zombie defense system.
3.
The creepy guy who hangs outside keeps telling you you have a “purty mouth.”
4.
The broker wasn’t kidding about that Indian burial ground.
5.
The wild young twins who moved into 237 aren’t what you expected.
6.
You can’t afford the $5,000 containment fee anymore.
7.
The guy on the couch now has squatter rights.
8.
Your roommate’s parents stopped supporting her.
9.
Your actor roommate finally got a gig, but now the cat’s covered in blue paint.
10.
Because a Lannister always pays his debts, but is frequently late with the rent.

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!
