>> NEXT ON "YOU OUGHTA KNOW" -- >> MEET THE AUTO MECHANIC WHOSE GIRL POWER IS EDUCATING WOMEN ABOUT THE CARS THEY DRIVE.

>> AND WHY NETFLIX'S "THE QU EEN'S GAMBIT" IS INSPIRING MORE WOMEN TO MAKE THEIR MOVE IN THE WORLD OF CHESS.

>> AND WE WILL SHOW YOU THE ART OF RESTORING BOOKS PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATIONS, LIKE THE ONE PRESIDENT BIDEN USED TO TAKE THE BOTH OF OFFICE.

-- TO TAKE THE OATH OF OFFICE.

♪ >> IT IS NO SECRET THAT WHEN IT COMES TO CAR REPAIRS, MOST WOMEN FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.

A PHILADELPHIA WOMAN DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

SHE LEFT HER ENGINEERING JOB AT DUPONT AND SET OUT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

>> MY STORY STARTS WITH BEING AN AUTO AIRHEAD.

I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT CARS.

I ALWAYS FELT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.

I WOULD PANIC ANY TIME LIKE A DASHBOARD LIGHT WOULD POP UP.

I ALWAYS FELT LIKE I NEEDED GUYS TO HELP ME.

I WAS LIKE THE WOMAN OF TODAY EXCEPT WHEN IT CAME TO MY CAR.

I FELT HELPLESS.

I WAS TIRED OF FEELING THAT WAY.

I WENT BACK TO AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL AT DELAWARE TECHNICAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

AS SOON AS I STARTED WORKING ON CARS, I WAS FASCINATED WITH THE INFORMATION AND HOW ATTAINABLE IT WAS, AND THAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW THIS INFORMATION.

I STARTED CREATING AN EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP AROUND CARS FOR WOMEN TO GIVE THEM THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION THEY NEEDED SO THEY COULD MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR THEIR CAR.

WOMEN ARE THE NUMBER ONE CUSTOMER IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY BY FAR.

WE SPENT $200 BILLION A YEAR BUYING AND REPAIRING OUR CARS.

YET, IT IS UP TO 85% OF WOMEN WHO FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF ARE MISTREATED BY THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY.

I FELT THAT THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY COULD BE A CATALYST, A JUMPSTART, A MOVEMENT, TO SAY, FOR ATTENTION TO YOUR NUMBER ONE CUSTOMER.

SHE IS HERE.

SHE WANTS TO LEARN MORE, SHE WANTS TO BE ENGAGED.

THAT IS ULTIMATELY WHAT WE WANT TO DO, REPRESENT WOMEN IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, CREATE OPPORTUNITIES NOT JUST TO BE MECHANICS, BUT TO BE OWNERS, TO HAVE INFLUENCE AND THE POWER TO MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN.

>> I HAVE BEEN DOING AUTO REPAIR MY WHOLE LIFE.

THIS PLACE IS 100% DIFFERENT JUST BECAUSE OF THE ENERGY, THE MESSAGE BEHIND IT.

TO BE IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOUR CAREER KIND OF MIXES WITH YOUR PERSONAL GOALS, IT IS KIND OF A BIG DEAL FOR ME.

>> WE DECIDED TO PUT THE NAIL SALON IN THE SHOP BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING WOMEN LOOK FORWARD TO.

>> WE ALSO DO FACIALS WHILE YOU WAIT FOR YOUR CAR.

WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LOUNGE WHERE YOU CAN WATCH TV, HAVE THE KIDS PLAY OR JUST HANG OUT.

WE HAVE A WINDOW SEAT AREA WHERE YOU CAN READ SOME BOOKS.

WE HAVE SOME GREAT FEMALE EMPOWERMENT BOOKS ON OUR SHELVES.

I LOVE BEING A VEHICLE OF EMPOWERMENT FOR WOMEN TO BE THEMSELVES, TO BE WOMEN, TO BE MOTHERS, AND TO BE ABLE TO WORK ON CARS IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO CHANGE WHAT THEY ARE.

I WANT TO GIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD TO JOIN THIS FIELD, ON THEIR OWN SHOP, TO BE SALESPEOPLE, TO WORK ON PARTS, WORK ON THE RETAIL SIDE.

THAT IS WHAT WE REALLY WANTED TO CREATE.

THE END OF THE STORY IS I AM A SHECHANIC NOW.

I KNOW HOW TO WORK ON MY CAR.

I AM NO LONGER AFRAID OF IT.

WE ARE A FEMALE EMPOWERMENT COMPANY.

WE ARE FOR WOMEN ANYWAY CAN EMPOWER THEM IN THE FUTURE.

>> NOT ONLY IS SHE HELP EVAN BECOME SHECHANICS, SHE HAS ALSO BEEN FEATURED IN TED TALKS AND WAS LAST YEAR'S WOMEN ENTREPRENEUR BY LEHIGH UNIVERSITY.

>> WOMEN ARE ALSO MAKING INROADS IN THE CHESS WORLD.

FOR A LONG TIME, GROUPS LIKE THE U.S.

CHESS FEDERATION HAVE WORKED HARD TO GET MORE GIRLS INTO THE GAME.

SO, THEY WERE READY WENT FEMALE INTEREST SKYROCKETED, IN PART BECAUSE OF THE DEALER CHESS THEMED NETFLIX SERIES.

>> THESE GIRLS ARE ABOUT TO GO UP AGAINST CHESS ROYALTY.

JEN SHE HOTTIE IS A -- JEN SHIHA DI IS A WOMEN'S CHESS CHAMPION.

SHE IS PLAYING AGAINST ALL OF THESE GIRLS AT THE SAME TIME.

>> WE KIND OF PARTNERED UP WITH HER SO THAT SHE COULD BE A ROLE MODEL.

SHE IS A VERY STRONG CHESS PLAYER AND SHE GREW UP HERE IN PHILLY AND LIVES IN PHILLY.

>> IT WAS KIND OF HARD.

SHE NOTICED A LOT OF THINGS THAT MOST OF THE PLAYERS THAT HAVE PLAYED BEFORE DID NOT NOTICE, OR WOULD NOT NOTICE.

I DID NOT NOTICE THEM EITHER UNTIL IT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

>> GIRLS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CHESS CHAMPIONS LIKE HER BECAUSE FEMALE CHESS PLAYERS OVERALL ARE SIGNIFICANTLY OUTNUMBERED.

>> THE GOOD THING IS THAT IT HAS GOTTEN A LOT BETTER BUT IT IS STILL BAD.

IT USED TO BE ABOUT 10%, MAYBE EVEN 8% OF GIRLS TO BOYS.

AT THIS POINT, IT HAS REALLY DUMPED.

YOU HAVE ABOUT 14%, THE HIGHEST IT HAS EVER BEEN.

>> NOW, AS THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR THE U.S.

CHESS WOMEN'S PROGRAM, SHE IS TRYING TO GET MORE GIRLS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY INTO THE GAME.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT SIMPLY FINDING MORE GIRLS THAT ARE TOTALLY INTO JAZZ.

IT IS KEEPING THEM.

>> I STOPPED PLAYING FOR YEARS.

I TOTALLY DROPPED OUT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

LUCKILY FOR ME, I GOT BACK INTO IT IN HIGH SCHOOL.

I THINK A LOT OF GIRLS DROP OFF IN JUNIOR HIGH BECAUSE THERE IS MORE SOCIAL PRESSURE AT THAT AGE.

THEY BECOME MORE SELF-CONSCIOUS.

SOMETIMES, IT IS HARD BECAUSE GIRLS WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH OTHER GIRLS.

IF THERE ARE NOT OTHER GIRLS THAT ARE PLAIN, IT MIGHT BE A REASON FOR THEM TO LEAVE.

I THINK THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WHY I LEFT.

>> HERE IN HER HOMETOWN, SHE WORKS CLOSELY WITH ASAP TO RECRUIT GIRLS.

THIS STANDS FOR AFTERSCHOOL ACTIVITY PARTNERSHIP, A NONPROFIT.

>> KNOWING THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING WE WANTED TO ADDRESS, WE STARTED THINKING ABOUT WAYS THAT WE CAN KIND OF HELP ADDRESS THAT GAP IN PHILADELPHIA.

WE STARTED WITH THE PHILLY GIRLS PLAY CHESS TOURNAMENT.

THAT BROUGHT AROUND 100 TO 150 FEMALE CHESS PLAYERS.

>> THE ANNUAL TOURNAMENT AT DREXEL UNIVERSITY, COUPLED WITH CAMPS LIKE THIS, ARE SOME OF THE WAYS THAT ASAP IS SHOWING GIRLS THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE.

>> THEY GET EXCITED TO GO TO THE TOURNAMENT TOGETHER, MAKE IT MORE OF A REGULAR THING.

>> STRENGTHENING THE COMMUNITY IS A BIG REASON WHY FORMER CAMPER LINDA CAME BACK TO COACH.

>> WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I HAD NO ONE TO PLAY WITH.

IN HIGH SCHOOL, I FELT A LITTLE DISCOURAGED BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT MANY GIRLS TO PLAY CHESS WITH.

I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO SEE THAT, YES, WE GIRLS CAN PLAY CHESS, TOO.

>> IF YOU SUCCEED AT CHESS, YOU ARE REQUIRED IS REALLY USE YOUR OWN BRAIN AS HARD AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.

IT IS A HUGE CONFIDENCE BUILDER.

>> I THINK WOMEN AND GIRLS HAVE EVEN MORE TO GAIN IN CHESS.

WOMEN ARE OFTEN TAUGHT THAT OUR OUTER APPEARANCE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN IN HER BEAUTY.

CHESS IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

WHAT IS INSIDE YOUR BRAIN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT.

>> JOINING ME NOW IS JEN SHI HADI, A TWO-TIME U.S. WOMEN'S CHESS CHAMPION COME ALONG WITH THE DIRECTOR OF U.S.

CHESS WOMEN AND AN AUTHOR.

GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH ME.

SO I WATCHED "THE QUEEN GAMBIT."

HOW REALISTIC WAS THAT PORTRAYAL?

>> IT WAS WONDERFUL.

I THINK IT CAPTURED A LOT OF THINGS ON CHESS THAT WERE NOT SEEN ON SCREEN BEFORE.

IF YOU ARE A CHESS PLAYER, YOU CAN WATCH IT TWICE.

ONCE FOR THE STORY AND THE SECOND TIME, YOU CAN ACTUALLY LOOK AT THOSE GAMES.

IT WAS A FANTASY AND THAT YOU USUALLY HAVE TO LOSE MORE.

A WOMAN CLIMBING UP THE RANKS OF CHESS ENCOUNTERS MORE RESISTANCE.

SHIRLEY: I HAVE HEARD STATISTICS SAYING THAT ONLINE CHESS HAS GROWN EXPONENTIALLY.

JEN: I HAVE HEARD THAT.

CHESS.COM HAS MINDLESS STATISTICS ABOUT THE GROWTH OF WOMEN, NEW MEMBERS.

I THINK THAT CHESS IS AN ESCAPE INTO AN INTELLECTUAL WORLD WHERE YOU CONTROL THE ACTIVITY THAT SEEMS RESONANT.

THE ABILITY TO BRING TEAMS OF WOMEN AND FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO BUILD A COMMUNITY, IT IS VERY VALUABLE TO DO IT ONLINE.

I THINK "THE QUEEN GAMBIT" IS OPEN UP VARIOUS OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN, BRING IT GRAND MASTERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

WE HAD HUNDREDS OF WOMEN SHOW UP FOR OUR PROGRAMS IN RECENT WEEKS INCLUDING BEGINNER WOMEN'S CHESS LESSONS AND ALSO, SOMETHING THAT I CREATED CALLED THE MADWOMAN'S BOOK CLUB.

THE FIRST BOOK WE TALKED ABOUT, I AM SURE MANY WILL NOT BE SURPRISED, WAS "THE QUEEN GAMBIT ," WHICH INSPIRED THE NETFLIX SHOW.

SHIRLEY: JEN SHAHADE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THE FUTURE REALLY IS FEMALE.

JACQUELINE BURST ONTO THE WILMINGTON TENNESSEAN, SHOWING THE FUN SIDE OF EXPERIMENTS FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES.

>> I FOUND TODAY PROGRAM THAT ENCOURAGES AND EMPOWERS YOUNG GIRLS, SPECIFICALLY GIRLS OF COLOR, TO EMBRACE SCIENCE, TECH, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS.

>> NOW, SHE IS INSPIRING THOSE GIRLS IN ANOTHER WAY.

SHE IS PART OF GIRLS UNITED.

THE OPPORTUNITY GIVES HER A CHANCE TO SHOW GIRLS HOW STEM IMPACTS THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES.

>> IT FEELS REALLY GOOD BECAUSE IT CAN BE HARD TO SEE A FUN CONNECTION BETWEEN STEM AND JUST ANYTHING THAT IS FUN.

IT IS IN OUR MAKEUP, IN OUR CARS, WE JUST HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT.

>> THE LADIES CREATED A BEAUTY AND BATH LINE AND WERE MEANT TOWARD IN MARKETING AND -- AND WORK MENTORED IN MARKETING AND BUSINESS.

>> I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF ME, YOU CAN CHECK ME OUT ON ALL MY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.

>> HENRY DAVID THOREAU ONCE SAID THAT OAKS ALREADY TREASURED WEALTH OF THE WORLD AND THE INHERITANCE OF GENERATIONS AND NATIONS.

PRESIDENT BIDEN IS A TESTAMENT TO THAT.

HE TOOK THE AUTHOR OF OFFICE WITH A 19TH CENTURY BIBLE THAT HAS BEEN IN HIS FAMILY SINCE 1893.

FAMILY HEIRLOOMS LIKE THAT I WILL KEEP A PHILADELPHIA BOOK RESTORATION COMPANY IN HIGH DEMAND.

>> MY NAME IS DAVE DONAHUE.

THIS IS MY BOOK RESTORATION BUSINESS.

I HAVE BEEN HERE NOW CLOSE TO 18 YEARS.

DOING BOOK RESTORATIONS.

WE DO A WIDE VARIETY OF BOOKS.

SOMETIMES SIMPLE BOOKS THAT CAN BE REPLACED FAIRLY EASILY.

PEOPLE WANT THAT CONNECTION, WANT THAT TREASURE.

IT IS A PRETTY REWARDING BUSINESS.

IT IS READY ARTISTIC.

PRETTY TECHNICAL AT TIMES.

THAT IS A COMBINATION OF CHEMISTRY, HAND SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE OF CERTAIN MATERIALS, CONSERVATION METHODS.

MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT YOU CAN RESTORE A BOOK, OR THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE ME OR DOMINIQUE OR MATILDA WHO DO THIS WORK.

>> I LOOK AT EVERY BOOK AS AN ART PIECE.

WHEN I FINISH A BOOK AND IT LOOKS SEAMLESS AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT EITHER DID WHEN IT WAS FIRST CREATED, IT IS JUST THAT FEELING OF, THIS IS SEAMLESS, BEAUTIFUL, EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

>> THE BOOK WORLD KNOWS THAT BOOKS WERE MEANT TO BE USED.

MOST OF YOU THAT NOT JUST AS A BOOK BUT AS AN ARTIFACT.

EUROPE BACK IN A POSITION WHERE IT WILL BE STABLE AND CAN BE USED.

ALL BOOKS HAVE TWO CRITICAL PARTS.

THE INSIDE HINGE AND THE OUTER COVER.

ONCE ONE OR BOTH OF THOSE BREAKS, THE BOOK STARTS TO FALL APART.

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO REALIZE THERE IS A REASON THEY WON THAT BOOK RESTORED.

MOST OF THE TIME, IT IS BECAUSE IT IS A SPECIAL BOOK.

HAD A WOMAN COME IN AND I RESTORED 15 OF HER FATHER'S BOOKS BECAUSE THEY HAD HER FATHER'S SIGNATURE.

SOMETIMES THE REPAIRS ARE FAIRLY SIMPLE.

MOST TIMES, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE BOOK APART, PERHAPS SO IT BACK TOGETHER.

SOMETIMES, THE REPAIRS ARE EXTENSIVE, PARTICULARLY WITH FAMILY BIBLES.

YOU HAVE TO REPLACE LEATHER, PEACHES, AND COVERS.

THERE IS A LOT THAT GOES INTO THAT.

THE MOST INTERESTING THINGS IN THE SHOP IN THE PAST FEW YEARS WAS A WHALING JOURNAL.

SOMEBODY HAD PASTED NEWSPRINT FROM THE 1870'S AND 1880'S ONTO EVERY PAGE.

IT TOOK ABOUT 4-5 HOURS TO REMOVE THE NEWSPRINT FROM EACH PAGE.

I PEELED ONE PIECE OFF AND THERE WAS THIS DRAWING OF A WHALE, IS WHAT THE CAPTAINS USED TO DO.

WHEN THEY WOULD CAPTURE A WHALE, THEY WOULD DRIVE.

NOTE THE TONNAGE UNDERNEATH IT FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE TO A PORTION OF THIS COUNTRY AND TO KNOW THAT IT IS ONE OF A KIND.

FOLKS ARE PROBABLY ONE OF THE NEAR-PERFECT INVENTIONS OF ALL TIME.

-- BOOKS ARE PROBABLY ONE OF THE NEAR-PERFECT INVENTIONS OF ALL TIME.

THEY HAVE REMAINED UNCHANGED FOR PROBABLY 400, 500 YEARS.

FOR MOST PEOPLE, THAT TACTICAL FEEL THEY GET FROM BOOKS IS IMPORTANT.

ALL THE WORK THAT WE DO, WE PRESERVE KNOWLEDGE OR A MEMORY.

THE WORK WE DID CAN STILL BE HERE 300, 400 YEARS FROM NOW.

>> I WAS ENTRANCED BY THAT STORY.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

DONAHUE SAYS THE SHOP HAS ABOUT A SIX MONTH WAITLIST.

IF YOU WANT INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET YOUR OWN BOOK RESTORED, VISIT OUR WEBSITE.

>> WE INTRODUCED YOU TO ALAN TRIPP, WHO AT THE AGE OF 102 REALIZE HIS DREAM OF BECOMING A SONGWRITER.

WE LEARNED THAT TRIPP DIED THIS PAST DECEMBER, ONE OF THE CASUALTIES OF COVID.

IN HONOR OF HIM AND ONE OF THE MEN WHO BROUGHT HIS STORY TO US, RANDY ALEXANDER, WHO ALSO PASSED AWAY RECENTLY, WE WANTED TO REMIND YOU OF WHAT A LIFE WELL LIVED LOOKS LIKE.

>> I AM ALAN TRIPP.

I JUST TURNED 102 YEARS OLD AND I JUST RELEASED MY FIRST SONG ALBUM, SOMETHING I HAVE WANTED TO DO ALL MY LIFE.

I STARTED WRITING ADVERTISING JINGLES.

I WROTE A LITTLE JINGLE FOR KOOL CIGARETTES, I TOOK IT TO THE AGENCY AND THEY PAID ME IN CASH.

$75.

I DECIDED THAT WRITING JINGLES WAS WHAT I WANTED TO DO AND I WENT INTO THE ADVERTISING BUSINESS.

I WROTE JINGLES FOR FRANK'S.

I WROTE THE "CHOO CHOO CHARLIE" SONG FOR GOOD N PLENTY CANDY.

NOW, AT 102 -- >> IT WAS NOT UNTIL I WAS IN MY 70'S THAT I DECIDED I NEEDED TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT THIS IF I WAS EVER GOING TO PLAY THIS MUSIC.

>> I REALIZED, WHEN YOU LIVE IN A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, YOU WILL LOSE SOME BUT THEN YOU MAKE SOME NEW ONES WHO ARE EVEN MORE DEAR TO YOU.

MY FRIEND MARVIN, WHO WROTE THE MUSIC TO THIS ALBUM, HE WROTE MUSIC TO THE POEM AND GAVE IT TO ME AS A PRESENT FOR MY 100TH BIRTHDAY.

>> I SIGHED AND I LIKED IT.

WE BECAME -- I SAW IT AND I LIKED IT.

WE BECAME BEST OLD FRIENDS.

>> I LOVED IT.

BUT MARVIN MADE A MISTAKE.

HE OPENED THE DOOR.

I HAD THREE OR FOUR OTHER SONGS I HAD WRITTEN.

THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, WE HAD REALLY WRITTEN A DOZEN SONGS.

WE TOOK THE GUITAR PLAYER, THE BASS PLAYER, EACH OF THE SINGERS, AND WE WENT TO MORNINGSTAR STUDIOS.

THAT IS HOW WE HAVE A CD OF THE SENIOR SONGBOOKS.

>> THE FEELING COMES FROM THESE OTHER THINGS.

THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS I REALLY LEARNED, PLAYING WITH THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE.

TO PLAY THIS MUSIC TOGETHER TO FIND A WAY TO EXPRESS OURSELVES THROUGH THE OLD SONGS.

>> I GOT AN IDEA THAT FOR THIS ALBUM, WE SHOULD TAKE THE LYRICS FROM THE PRESENT TIME.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE MATURED, TO HAVE GROWN UP MUSIC, GROWN-UP LYRICS.

SO WE WOUND UP WITH SONGS LIKE, "I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER YOUR NAME.

THE MUSIC IS REMINISCENT OF THE PAST.

WHEN YOU RETIRE, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER LIFE, YOU WANT TO RETIRE TO SOMETHING, NOT JUST FROM YOUR JOB.

>> IT IS WONDERFUL.

IT HAS GIVEN ME A WHOLE NEW LIFE.

IT JUST MAKES ME LOVE LIFE.

I FELT VERY EMOTIONAL ABOUT TODAY'S PERFORMANCE.

I COULD RELATE TO THOSE LYRICS.

THEY MADE ME HAPPY AND THEY MADE ME SAD.

>> IT IS AN HONOR TO HAVE THIS GENTLEMAN HERE AT 102.

>> THE GOAL WAS STRICTLY TO SATISFY OUR NEED TO DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE AND GREAT.

AS YOU GET OLDER, YOU DON'T GET OLD.

>> IT IS BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS, I COULD NOT IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

>> I FIND SOMETHING GOOD IN EVERYBODY THAT I KNOW.

THE HIGHLIGHT IS YET TO COME.

I GUARANTEE YOU.

>> ♪ I KNOW I'M MAD ABOUT YOU AND ALL BUT LOST WITHOUT YOU AND GREAT AFFECTION FOR YOU, I PROCLAIM I KNOW I WANT TO KISS YOU BUT BABY THERE'S AN ISSUE ♪ >> A LOCAL POP ARTIST IS TURNING HEADS ONCE AGAIN.

>> MY NAME IS TERRY MILO.

I HAVE BEEN PAINTING SINCE I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD.

I AM BLESSED TO CREATE AND SHARE.

THIS PROJECT IS REALLY, REALLY AWESOME.

>> THE PROJECT HE IS TALKING ABOUT IS HIS CUP OF JOE MUG FEATURING PRESIDENT BIDEN.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAS PAINTED IT.

>> I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE VERY CLOSE WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN.

FOUR YEARS AGO, HE ASKED ME TO MAKE A PAINTING OF THEN VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN TO PRESENT TO HIM ON HIS LAST TRAIN RIDE HOME FROM DELAWARE, THE DAY MR. TRUMKA INAUGURATED.

-- THE DAY MR. TRUMP GOT INAUGURATED.

>> HE ASKED HIM TO DO ANOTHER.

>> THE SAME FRIEND WHO I BECAME FRIENDLY WITH, HE SAID, JOE IS RUNNING, I WANT YOU TO MAKE ANOTHER PAINTING OF HIM.

I HAVE A DESIGNER I WORK WITH, A GREAT CONCEPTUAL DESIGNER, NICK INK IS THE NAME OF HER COMPANY.

THERE CAME THE PAINTING OF JOE DRINKING HIS OWN COFFEE.

THEN HE ANNOUNCED THAT MS. HARRI S, KAMALA HARRIS, WAS GOING TO BE HIS VP.

I THOUGHT, I HAVE GOT TO PAINTER.

THE NEXT MUG IS BORN.

COMBINE THEM TOGETHER, YOU CAN BUY THEM SEPARATE.

AND THEY ARE SELLING LIKE HOT CAKES.

>> THE MUGS ARE AVAILABLE ON AMAZON BUT IF YOU BUY THEM FROM MILO'S WEBSITE, HE WILL SIGN IT.

>> WITH VALENTINE'S DAY APPROACHING, ANYTHING FROM CHOCOLATES HERE IN CENTER CITY IS A SWEET WAY TO SHOW SOMEONE THAT YOU CARE.

>> WELCOME, LET'S GO MAKE SOME CHOCOLATES.

>> LORE'S CHOCOLATES BEGAN MANUFACTURING 17 YEARS AGO.

IT IS AN ORIGINAL FACTORY WHERE MY FATHER WORKED, SO A SORT OF WENT FULL-CIRCLE.

THE CHOCOLATE BUSINESS IS A GREAT BUSINESS TO BE IN BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE THAT LEAVE UNHAPPY.

IT IS JUST A HAPPY BUSINESS.

THE SEASONS CHANGE, SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR THANKSGIVING, HALLOWEEN , CHRISTMAS, VALENTINES.

YOU ARE ALWAYS ONTO TO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SO IT KEEPS IT INTERESTING.

WE MAKE A FULL LINE OF CHOCOLATES, EVERYTHING FROM CARAMEL TO UTTER CREAM TO MARSHMALLOW TO FUDGE.

ALSO, SEASONAL ITEMS SUCH AS EASTER EGGS.

WE PROBABLY HAVE THE LARGEST SELECTION OF HOLLOW EASTER MOLDS TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE.

I THINK THE MOST INTERESTING THING THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IS THAT YOU NEED TO BE HANDS-ON.

WE HAVE PRODUCTS THAT TAKE DAYS, MAYBE EVEN A WEEK TO MANUFACTURE.

IT IS A VERY TIME-CONSUMING, LABOR-INTENSIVE PROCESS.

OUR STORE DOWNTOWN HAS BEEN THERE FOR 50 YEARS NOW.

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING.

IT IS COMFORTABLE, ENJOYABLE.

YOU JUST DON'T HAVE PEOPLE LEAVE UNHAPPY.

THEY COME IN, THEY SMELL THE CHOCOLATE, THEY JUST SMILE.

>> IT IS THE BEST CHOCOLATE PLACE.

♪ >> THE ARE OUR BREAD AND BUTTER.

PEOPLE LOVE THEIR TRADITIONAL CARAMEL, TRADITIONAL MARSHMALLOW.

THAT IS WHAT THEY COME BACK FOR WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK.
