Dear PoP – Allegro Foreclosure

IMG_0504, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.

“Dear PoP,

I noticed a story in the WBJ from last Friday saying the Allegro (3460 14th St, NW) was going into foreclosure. As a resident I have not heard anything from our management (not surprisingly) and was hoping you could ask around to see what people have heard. Has this type of thing happened to other apartment buildings readers live in? Does it typically have any effect on the renters?”

I’ve received a lot of emails about this development. Folks have also been commenting about this development in previous posts. Since you are a resident I really don’t think you have to worry. The article said that the property will go to auction Nov. 18th. I imagine it will be purchased and you will not even know the difference. I suppose it is possible that the new owners may change marketing companies and possibly change some of the rents. However, I would think that you’ll be locked into the price on your lease (anyone know for sure?).

I’m also curious if anyone has experienced a similar situation or knows of anyone who has gone through something like this? Do you think it is safe to assume that the current resident will not really notice any difference?

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!
