Matt BlazeAn excellent hotel keycard (click for full image).
To be pedantic, the hotel wasn’t really where the famous burglary occurred; that was in the office building next door, which is part of the larger Watergate complex (consisting of a hotel, apartments, and offices).
Matthew van Eerde@mattblaze Ah now the Forrest Gump scene makes more sense
Cathy Gellis@mattblaze I always find it weird how you can just be walking down the street and suddenly this famous building is RIGHT THERE.
@cathygellis Design is so iconic (and so mid-century!)
@mattblaze I actually really like DC as a city. It feels like such a manageable scale.
(I don't want to live there, but I always like my visits.)
lorddimwit is now @I remember the first time I went to Paris and I walked out of the Metro station and the Eiffel Tower was just *bam* right there and it actually was a little disorienting.
Dan McDonaldOf course! The apartments were where the 1/2 of the REAL Deep Throat lived!

Random Rage@mattblaze To be pedantic, the break-in was at Watergate's Monster. The hotel was Dr. Watergate.
