Luxury condo development in Washington, DC; home-away-from-home for movers and shakers. Monica Lewinsky's mum owned a condo next to Bob Dole's - the Doles now own it. What is commonly known as "Watergate", the scandal, began to be uncovered via a failed Nixon-sponsored burglary at the Democratic Party offices there. Many later "scandals" have had a "-gate" suffix affixed to them, which trivializes the utter heinousness of what the Nixon Gang tried to pull.
