Legal Question in Civil Litigation in District of Columbia

Personal Loan

I loaned a friend $5000 one year ago. I wrote LOAN on the check, which was cashed in his personal acct. in DC. He lives in Virginia, has sent me e-mail talking about the loan. Where do I go to small claims, and what is the statute of limitations for this?
