This is the final event in a series of community forums about Eastern Market since the destructive fire on April 30, 2007. The focus will be on historic preservation aspects of the restoration and how they relate to Eastern Market as a living part of the Capitol Hill neighborhood and the city of Washington.

Interviewees and contributors include a charismatic array of market vendors, DC public officials (Adrian Fenty, Dan Tangherlini, Tommy Wells, Eleanor Holmes Norton), non-profit representatives, and community members. The video was produced by Langley Bowers, a budding documentary filmmaker and Capitol Hill native, and sponsored by the Capitol Hill Community Foundation (CHCF) and the Ruth Ann Overbeck Oral History Project.
