Watergate...going...going..

So the Watergate Hotel is having a liquidation sale, $10 admission to buy used things that are only slightly cheaper than new things. However, this is the site of history, and people are willing to pay more for a piece of it. For those of you don't know, it was the hotel, rooms 214 and 314, where the Watergate burglars were on the lookout during the break-in of the DNC offices across the way in the Watergate Complex. The hotel didn't house the actual break in. Yesterday when I went to the hotel, I didn't know which rooms the burglars were in. Now that I do know, I plan on photographing it later on today. In the meantime, here are some photos from yesterday.
If you are looking for a piece of history, the sale ends tomorrow. And no, there are no ashtrays or anything with the Watergate logo on it.
