Eleanor Holmes Norton, DC's own nonvoting representative, was spotted this weekend shopping at Eastern Market. As she bought some vegetables, she chatted it up with an outdoor merchant about fundraising efforts to help rebuild the historic building that was severely damaged in a fire last month.

The merchant directed her to a booth down the way where vendors were collecting cash, and Norton (D) ran off to donate.

"She's been a loyal customer every weekend for decades," one vendor told this Fishwrapper.
