On April 30, 2007, Washington DC's historic Eastern Market was ravaged by fire, gutting the southen half of the building and displacing businesses located there for decades. Its annual Market Day Festival was scheduled for the following Sunday, but they refused to cancel it. Today, thousands of people visited the market in a massive show of community solidarity. Though much of the building was closed, that didn't dampen the spirits of the visitors and vendors lined up outside the building. I shot some video of the festivities, as well as the damage to the market's interior. -andy
