Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
14th and Irving Street in Northwest D.C.
Right above the Columbia Heights Metro station, the corner of 14th and Irving is hardly ever quiet. Everything from street design to building height have made the 14th Street corridor a popular destination for shoppers, diners and people looking for a place to live in an area that feels uniquely urban. Architect Roger Lewis and Kojo Nnamdi Show producer Raynell Cooper head to 14th Street to talk about what led to it becoming one of the most central retail areas in the District and how it interacts with the surrounding neighborhood.
Guests
- Roger Lewis Architect; Columnist, "Shaping the City," Washington Post; and Professor Emeritus of Architecture, University of Maryland College Park
- Raynell Cooper Producer, The Kojo Nnamdi Show
