A tipster sent Popville pictures of the menu at Sweetpea’s, a new soul food restaurant currently taking shape in Park View (2851 Georgia Avenue NW). Planned offerings include barbecue chicken sandwiches, fried whiting, and rice with gravy.

Crimewire

Bethesda Magazine reports that an unidentified man tried to pass a counterfeit $100 bill earlier this month at frozen yogurt chain Sweet Frog. When the store employee called him out, the man flashed a badge, said he was a cop, requested the fake bill back, and then ran from the store when the employee did not back down.
