D.C. MAYOR ADRIAN FENTY today held a press conference outside fire-damaged Eastern Market — complete with D.C. flags decorating the chain-link fence that was installed last night — announcing that he expects the market to be up and running in a restored space in the next 18 to 24 months. While the city, which owns Eastern Market, will seek a temporary space for the market vendors, no specific location has been pinpointed. Akira Hakuta of washingtonpost.com has video from today's announcement.
