The "Deep Throat" Garage To Be Demolished

It looks like a historical site is fixing to bite the dust -- the garage where reporter Bob Woodward met with his inside source "Deep Throat" when trying to expose the scandalous behavior of the Nixon White House. Here is how the Wall Street Journal is reporting it:

A piece of history is slated to be demolished after a county board voted to allow the parking garage where "Deep Throat" relayed information that fueled the Watergate scandal to be torn down.

The five-member Arlington County Board voted unanimously Saturday to allow developer Monday Properties to move ahead with a plan to replace the 1960s-era office building in Rosslyn, Va., across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., with a 28-story residential building of 274 units and a separate commercial building housing office and retail space.

The project also will include a grocery store, a public park, underground garage bike facilities, pedestrian walkways and improvements to nearby streets.

Monday Properties has said it hopes to start construction in early 2017. The county board and developer have promised to commemorate the site by keeping a historical marker added in 2011 and working with the community to find other ways to memorialize the site's history.

  1. Ah, yes, that was back in the days when the MSM actually did their 'jarb' but of course, they were, and still are Lefties and Nixon was a republican. Today the president is a Democrat and the media resolutely refuse to look at anything, not even when your Revenue Service spies on you and harries you if you are anything but a Democrat. Pass the sickbag!

  2. Come on. That old right-wing whine has been exposed as a lie. Right-wingers weren't singled out by the IRS. They investigated organizations on both the left and right -- just as they are supposed to do. That old horse is dead -- stop trying to ride it.

  3. And the mainstream media is more than fair to right-wingers -- allowing them to lie without calling them on it.

    1. Not funny or relevant. In fact, I don't even know what that means.

  5. What's really silly is David calling Obama & the Dems 'Lefties'. They are so far to the right they would have to use high powered binoculars to see anything that liberal.

    1. I've always found it humorous that right-wingers label President Obama as a left-winger. He is now, and always has been, a business-oriented moderate. He is far from a left-winger, or even a progressive.
