Yarmouth Management, Capitol Hill Rental Apartments, Washington DC

	Capitol Hill Resources Just down the block from Yarmouth Management--and the place where you can meet everyone who lives on Capitol Hill--is Eastern Market. During the week, you can shop from the stands inside the Market to get your meats, produce, baked goods, fish, poultry, flowers, cheese, and various other products, as well as lunch. On Saturdays, you can join the line waiting for blueberry pancakes, buy fresh goods from farmers, check out the crafts, and furnish your place from the flea market. We’ll see you there. The Capitol Hill Association of Merchants and Professionals (CHAMPS) is the local business and professional organization. Many of the cultural activities and services that make Capitol Hill a pleasure are listed in their site. Capitol Hill has two monthly newspapers, The Rag and The Voice of the Hill. On their Websites, you can read articles from current and past issues, access their advertising, check out the calendar of activities, get the scores of Capitol Hill teams, and read special articles that are on the Website only. There are two sources of information about the DC Government. One is the District’s own listing of services. From that you can jump to other District sites. Phone numbers for the District offices are also available online. And you can get information about the new Basic Business License. Some of our neighborhood "businesses" have national significance. For information about the U.S. Capitol in general, try the Architect of the Capitol. To find the status of legislation and more, check in the House of Representatives and in the Senate. The Library of Congress is a great source of all sorts of information about almost anything. The Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, is another Capitol Hill landmark, as is the Federal Judiciary Center. Check out the history of the courts and cases that have made history. For that next Shakespeare paper, stop at the Folger Library, the home of the largest collection of Shakespeare documents in the world. They also have a small version of the Globe Theatre with performances of plays and music. For another source for seeing a Shakespeare play, visit the Shakespeare Theatre, which has its headquarters on the Hill and its theater at the bottom of the Hill. Other performances take place in the summer evenings at the Capitol where the Service bands perform. Two of them are headquartered and give regular concerts throughout the year on the Hill: the President's Own Marine Band in the Marine Barracks at 8th and G SE and the Navy Band at the Navy Yard at 8th and M SE.
