🚨 You need to know

A Bronx-style bodega called Eddie’s Little Shop and Deli has officially reopened in the former Deli News & More at 1406 King Street, Alexandria Living Magazine reported.

Deli News & More closed late last year after nearly 30 years in Old Town. The shop first opened as a newsstand in 1994 with light breakfast fare.

DC Eater said Eddie’s owner Ed McIntosh was inspired by the boegas he used to frequent as a kid in the Bronx. Like the New York staples, DC Eater reported that Eddie’s offers a little bit of everything, from hearty sandwiches and pantry essentials to cooking classes.

Potomac Harmony Hits on All the High Notes!

By: Awards & Accolades Abound During 5-State Contest Weekend

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!
