- Rend Smith pens this story about MPD vice officers who set up an elaborate marijuana-delivery sting and arrested 20 people, only for every one of the charges to be dropped before trial. Now that’s what I call an efficient use of police resources!
- We, The Pizza has instituted an optional one percent “environmental” surcharge on all transactions, but doesn’t tell customers they are charging them the extra fee unless they ask, says Prince of Petworth. Discuss.
