First Brasserie Beck and now Marcel’s. Thanks to CJ for passing on the sad news:
“We regret to share with you that Marcel’s will be closing on May 12th. Since its opening in March 1999, Marcel’s has been a cornerstone of Washington, DC’s fine dining community for 25 extraordinary years.
Despite our best efforts, Marcel’s was unable to reach lease terms with the new building owner and will not be renewing its lease. Read More

“Dear PoPville,
y’all might be interested in this picture of the Rosslyn Foxtrot from a little after 5:30 tonight (Monday) – a full 9 days after the abrupt store closures. The inventory (including perishable foods) looks completely untouched. Read More
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!
