Walking along the streets of Foggy Bottom you will pass everything from historic row homes, foreign embassies, and the Watergate Complex to the modern headquarters of the World Bank and IMF. And the name, it's because of the fog that used to rise up from the Potomac into this area which is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city.
