White House Press Camp (aka "Pebble Beach" or "Stonehenge") (Washington, D.C.)

USA / District of Columbia / Washington / Washington, D.C.
 press / news agency, interesting place
Located just outside the West Wing lobby and the press briefing room, network and affiliate television correspondents use this area which provides an ideal backdrop for “stand-ups” while they report on the White House. However, due to its constant use over the years, the spot was often muddy and it became increasingly more difficult to maintain the grass on this part of the lawn. In 1998, the White House installed honeycomb grating and gravel to create “Pebble Beach”. Circa 2008, “Stonehenge” emerged as another nickname for the spot when the area was paved over with concrete.
