Eastern Market fire
Posted April 30, 2007 at 6:18 pmI heard this really bad news at a meeting this AM:
Fire coursed through the shops of the historic Eastern Market on Capitol Hill early Monday morning, gutting the southern half of the 134-year-old landmark.
I’m ashamed that in my nearly ten years in DC, I had just gotten to Eastern Market last fall.
The good news is that the overwhelming sentiment is to rebuild. Terrific!

I know, how tragic! I go there weekly for my produce, cheese, and meats/fish. I don’t know what I am going to do!! I hope they find an area for the vendors soon. I just feel awful for them.
