Every day on my way to work, I walk past the “Deepthroat Garage,” the once-secret spot where The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward met FBI Associate Director Mark Felt to swap info that eventually brought down President Richard Nixon in The Watergate scandal. It is a spot that resonates deeply with people in Washington, marked with a historical placard for those who are passing by.
There is another historical marker 100 feet from that location that is nowhere near as popular but arguably more significant. Across the intersection where Wilson and Clarendon boulevards meet marks the spot where the Internet was invented.
