Thanks to Owen for passing on the sad news:

“Devastated to see a “for rent” sign in what used to be Sweetpea’s Soul Food on Georgia Ave. Their sign has also been removed from the establishment. Do you know anything more? Last I communicated with them on Instagram a few months ago, they indicated just being temporarily closed.”


From the Office of Planning:

“On July 28, 2020, representatives from the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), DC Office of Planning (DCOP), and the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that identifies the process for redevelopment of an underutilized 80-acre parcel of land (Zone A) on the AFRH campus by a private developer.

Stay tuned for more.
