Roommate up to sketchy things?
“So I’ve been living in my current apartment (2bd/1ba) for a few months now. It’s a great location near Dupont, and definitely below market rate for the area. Walk to work, everywhere, decent size, etc. All in all, I’m getting a pretty good deal.
My question regards my roommate. I got the apartment through Craigslist, and my lease is a month-to-month sublet agreement is with the current roommate only, not the landlord, who’s a local guy who owns the whole building.
My roommate has been fine mostly, but I’m occasionally concerned about what he does for a living. He told me when I was moving in that he was a “freelance” graphic designer or something, but I doubt that. I suspect that he may be into possibly selling drugs or being a male escort to support himself. If he is into those, I don’t think he brings it back to our place–I don’t see any random characters at our place, at least not while I’m there. I’m just sorta concerned that some s***t could go down and potentially affect me, personally or legally.
Does anyone have experience with a similar situation? Do I have any potential risks from this situation? I’m torn between wanting to get the h**l out of Dodge and minding my own business with it. He’s been a fine roommate so far, and as an entry-level 20-something with a salary to match, I don’t want to have to search for another apartment.”

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!
