History's parking lot
If you ever wanted to be in the garage where it happened, your time is running out because it's being torn down. During the Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon, reporter Bob Woodward met with a secret source known as Deep Throat in a parking lot below an office building outside Washington D.C. But as Morning Edition host Rachel Martin said on Wednesday, that building and the lot underneath, won't be around for much longer. It's scheduled to be torn down and part of a new development project will go up. Don't worry though, history will not be erased as city leaders say the legend of Deep Throat will live on. A plaque commemorating those secret meetings will be restored once the new site is completed.
