In honor of the impending weekend, we're tossing politics aside and rolling down our windows for a road trip -- a journey through the history of American architecture and our long-standing relationship with on-the-road adventure.
It's the focus of an exciting new exhibit at Connecticut's New Haven Museum. This hour, we learn more about it and hear your road trip stories. Have you driven anywhere interesting recently?
Later, we also meet 85-year-old Hartford resident and composer Albert "Alby" Hurwit -- a unique man with an equally unique perspective on life and music.
