First, Cook’s Garage is Lubbock’s one stop spot for good food, loud music and vintage signs. Rusty Cook has collected the largest stockpile of signs that Bob and Kelli have ever seen. Cook has so many signs that he has brought on Rebecca Welch, a neon glass bender who makes light for a living. Then, Bob and Kelli meet Miguel Martin, one of the owners of the arts and crafts store Coleccion Mexicana. Miguel teaches us about Dia de los Muertos and how his store gives its visitors a better understanding of Mexican culture. Finally, for years trade jobs have been dismissed by the American public. At Casa Uber Alles, Richard Laughlin restores pride in the trades and teaches teens the skills they need to succeed.
