This was an interesting Good Deal or Not (GDoN) post as there was a reader who went ahead and put an offer in. Although it needed some work, this foreclosed Victorian rowhome was listed at $308,900. and garnered multiple offers. It ultimately sold over $70,000. above the list price.
Although located literally just a block east across North Capitol, homes on the northeast side of Eckington can still usually be had at lower price points than their very similar Victorian counterparts on the Bloomingdale side. Check out the neighborhood blog which includes some great history. Eckington landmarks include the refurbished McKinley Technical High School, which is a focal point that sits high up on a hill. I often meet NE Eckington residents during my frequent visits to the largest unofficial dog park in DC (also affectionately referred to as Fedex Field, since it is next door to the main Fedex building). In addition to Fedex, XM/Sirius Radio is an Eckington-based business. North Capitol Main Streets, Inc. is a notable tenant, as well. Bloomingdale and Eckington residents (myself included) can be found at the public pool on Lincoln Road during the summer months.
PoP noted that the closest dining option seemed to be the Big Bear Café, located at 1st and R St NW. It’s worth mentioning that Eckington is just north of NOMA and the New York Avenue Metro. There is a new Marriott Courtyard at the Metro, as well as a Five Guys and other food options. Given the push from NOMA Bid, as well as North Capitol Main Streets, I expect great things to continue in this area.

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!
