EASTERN MARKET ON THE MEN By now you’ve heard that much of Washington’s historic Eastern Market was damaged or destroyed by fire. But that hasn’t dampened the spirits of those behind the city’s oldest continuously operating food market – they’ve promised to rebuild. To help in the reconstruction effort, two funds have been set up for donations: visit www. capitalhillcommunityfoundation.org to make a donation to help merchants who operate inside the building; or www.easternmarket.net for more information on donating to aid the merchants who operate in the outdoor market.
