On NBC's "Dateline" show the other night (Wednesday), they did the whole show on "Deep Throat", of the Watergate affair, and much of it was filmed in the garage at my office. They called it "The most famous garage in the world", as it is the location where Mark Felt had the meetings with Bob Woodward of The Washington Post.

I haven't seen any tourists wandering the garage yet. When we first found out that OUR garage had been the famous meeting place 33 years ago, someone in my office wondered aloud if our rent would increase. ;-)

Your rent won't go up, but it will be hell trying to park with all the vendor stands set up in the good parking spots.

Peter, has anyone swept the garage to see if there any stray secrets left over from the old days?
