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.
