Posted July 12, 2026
Glasgow’s Southern Maryland Seafood at Eastern Market Closes. According to several sources at Eastern Market, owner Richard Glasgow has closed Southern Maryland Seafood. The market institution was opened in 1936 by Charlie Glasgow and management passed through a series of his sons, ending with Richard Glasgow. The business went up for sale in 2024 but efforts to find a new seafood vendor were unsuccessful. The market is managed by the Department of General Services. A Request for Proposals is expected to be issued in coming weeks to find a new tenant compatible with other South Hall vendor’s and committed to offering fresh foods.
Next Rumsey Community Meeting Set for Wednesday, July 22: DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and the DC Department of General Services (DGS) will host a community meeting at 6:30pm in North Hall of Eastern Market to discuss the latest concept design for the Rumsey Aquatic Center.
