Host Kevin O'Connor meets local Rick Lee for a tour of the most famous block in the neighborhood, the "U Street Corridor," which includes stops at Ben's Chili bowl and the historic Lincoln Theatre.

Countertop fabricator John Huzway makes templates for the new engineered quartz kitchen counters using state of the art computer technology.
