♪ >>> TWO OF THE LARGEST IMMIGRATION DETENTION FACILITIES IN THE STATE ARE UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP, INCLUDING ONE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

THE PRIVATE COMPANY CORECIVIC SAYS IT'S SOLD THE ONE IN OTAY MESA.

THE BUYER IS THE U.S.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.

THE TWO SITES WENT FOR $1.5 MILLION.

IT'S BEEN A LONG GOING LEGAL FIGHT OVER LIVING CONDITIONS.

SUED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND CORECIVIC CLAIMING THAT HEALTH INSPECTORS WERE BLOCKED.

THEY WERE LATER GRANTED ACCESS.

IT EXPECTS TO MANAGE BOTH FACILITIES UNDER EXISTING CONTRACTS.

>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP REFUSED TO RENEW THE TRADE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE U.S., MEXICO AND CANADA WORTH TRILLIONS OF A YEAR.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR SAN DIEGO'S ECONOMY?

WITH THE USMCA, A TRULY GROUNDBREAKING ACHIEVEMENT.

>> Reporter: HE NEGOTIATED IT IN 2018, CALLING IT THE BEST AND MOST IMPORTANT TRADE DEAL EVER MADE.

LAST WEEK, TRUMP CANCELED THE AGREEMENT CITING CONCERNS ABOUT TRADE DEFICITS.

CHRIS CATE IS THE CEO OF SAN DIEGO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AND THIS COULD HAVE A MASSIVE IMPACT, CARS, ELECTRONICS, MEDICAL DEVICES AND CHILDREN'S TOYS.

>> WE EXPORT NEARLY $35 BILLION WORTH OF GOODS TO MEXICO ANNUALLY, SUPPORTS 95,000 JOBS IN OUR REGION.

THAT'S A HUGE ECONOMIC BOOM BASED OFF USMCA.

>> Reporter: BY NOT EXTENDING IT, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION INTRODUCED ANNUAL TRADE REVIEWS.

MEANING THE PRICE OF EXPORTS COULD CHANGE IN A GIVEN YEAR.

THE ANNUAL REVIEWS PRESENT A LOT OF REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY AND COMPLICATE LONG-TERM PLANNING FOR BUSINESSES.

>> THERE ARE MANY BUSINESSES RELUCTANT TO INVEST HEAVILY IN JOBS, THE ECONOMY, AND TRADE THAT USMCA HAS COME TO BE DEFINED BY.

>> Reporter: CATE IS WORRIED THAT BUSINESSES WILL TAKE THEIR INVESTMENTS ELSEWHERE.

>>> FIFA STUNNED THE SOCCER WORLD BY ALLOWING THE U.S.

TEAM'S TOP SCORER TO PLAY IN THE GAME AGAINST BELGIUM.

THIS IS FOLLOWING THE CALL FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO FIFA.

THE LATEST ON THE TWIST AND THE POLITICAL STORM IT'S CREATED.

MICHAEL.

>> WHAT A WILD TURN OF EVENTS.

U.S.

SOCCER FANS ARE LOVING T PRETTY MUCH THE REST OF THE SOCCER WORLD ARE UP IN ARMS, RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT RULES CONSISTENCY, INTEGRITY AND POTENTIALLY POLITICAL INTERFERENCE.

A STUNNING REVERSAL.

U.S.

SOCCER PLAYER FOLARIN BALOGUN IS ELIGIBLE TO PLAY AGAINST BELGIUM.

>> FEELS RIPPED FROM THE WWE.

SEEMS OUTLANDISH SAYING THIS MAN HAS BEEN CLEARED.

>> Reporter: HE WAS SET TO HAVE A ONE-GAME BAN, THE RED CARD WAS AGREED TO BE QUESTIONABLE, BUT FIFA, WHO RUNS THE WORLD CUP, STOOD BY THE CALL, SAYING THERE WAS NO ROUTE TO APPEAL.

AND BALOGUN WOULD BE UNAVAILABLE.

PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE HIS OWN CALL.

>> I ASKED FOR A REVIEW BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A FOUL.

I'M GOOD AT THIS STUFF.

>> Reporter: AFTER THIS CALL, THE DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE SAID IT WAS USING A OBSCURE RULE TO SUSPEND THE BAN.

>> ON THE ONE HAND A WRONG HAS BEEN RIGHTED.

IT WASN'T A RED CARD BY ANY SENSIBLE READING OF THE RULES OR PLAY.

BUT A NEW WRONG HAS BEEN ENACTED DOING THIS.

>> Reporter: FIFA HAS OFFERED NO EXPLANATION, FUELLING CRITICISM THAT AN EXCEPTION WAS MADE.

>> THIS WAS UNPRESS CEDENTED TO HAVE THE U.S.

PRESIDENT INVOLVED IN THE RULING.

>> Reporter: BELGIUM APPEALED.

FANS ACROSS THE WORLD CRY FOUL.

>> THINK THAT TRUMP PLAYED A TRUMP CARD.

>> EVERYBODY HAS A RIGHT TO GO TO THE PRESIDENT AND ASK FOR HELP?

I DON'T KNOW.

>> PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE FIFA PRESIDENT HAVE WHAT IS DESCRIBED AS A COZY RELATIONSHIP.

CAN YOU BREAK DOWN HOW IT'S PLAYING INTO THIS CONTROVERSY?

>> FOR SURE, NO QUESTION, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE TWO MEN AT THE HEART OF A LOT OF THE CONVERSATIONS AROUND THIS DECISION.

YOU MENTIONED SOME DESCRIBE IT AS COZY, OTHERS AS SORT OF A BROMANCE, THEY'VE BEEN SIDE BY SIDE OFTEN THE LAST FEW YEARS.

WHEN TRUMP WAS REELECTED TO PRESIDENT, INFANTINO PUT OUT A STATEMENT SAYING TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE NOT ONLY AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BUT THE ENTIRE WORLD.

HE ALSO AWARDED TRUMP THE INAUGURAL FIFA PEACE PRIZE AHEAD OF THIS YEAR'S WORLD CUP.

THIS RELATIONSHIP REALLY A BIG PART OF THIS STORY AS PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS AS TO HOW THIS DECISION WAS MADE.

>> CERTAINLY.

TONIGHT'S MATCH AGAINST BELGIUM IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST IN TEAM USA'S HISTORY.

TELL US MORE ABOUT THE MATCHUP.

>> THERE'S JUST SO MUCH ON THE LINE IN TONIGHT'S MATCHUP BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND BELGIUM.

TALK ABOUT WHAT IS ON THE LINE, A CHANCE TO GET TO THE QUARTERFINALS OF THE WORLD CUP.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT U.S.

MEN'S SOCCER HISTORY, THEY'VE ONLY MADE THE QUARTERFINALS ONCE SINCE 1930, LAST TIME IN 2002.

SO A BIG CHANCE TO GO FAR INTO THIS TOURNAMENT.

THROW IN THE MATCHUP WITH BELGIUM, THEY'VE BEATEN TEAM USA THE LAST SIX TIMES THEY'VE PLAYED, INCLUDING BACK IN THE 2014 WORLD CUP WHEN THEY KNOCKED THE USA OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT IN THE ROUND OF 16, THE SAME ROUND WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.

A LOT ON THE LINE.

A LOT OF HISTORY HERE, AND LOT OF DRAMA ADDED TO THIS MATCHUP WITH THIS WILD RULING AND TURN OF EVENTS FROM FIFA.

>> I'VE SPEAKING TO MICHAEL YOSHIDA IN WASHINGTON.

THANK YOU.

>>> IT'S GOING TO BE A HOT WEEK ESPECIALLY THE INTERIOR.

FIRE DANGER A ISSUE.

EXTREME HEAT WARNINGS IN EVENT FOR EASTERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND A HEAT ADVISORY UP INTO PARTS OF THE AREAS WELL NORTH, SURROUNDING LOS ANGELES.

WE'LL KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THAT.

OVERNIGHT, STILL PLEASANT, NO MAJOR HURDLES.

50s AND 60s FOR MOST.

DETAILS AHEAD.

>>> THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO IS SPENDING LESS MONEY ON HOMELESS SUPPORT THIS YEAR.

IN THIS WEEK'S "WHY IT MATTERS," WE EXPLAIN THE NEW TAX REVENUE HASN'T HELPED AS EXPECTED.

♪ >> RESIDENTS VOTED SIX YEARS AGO TO INCREASE TAXES TO FIX CITY STREETS, EXPAND THE CONVENTION CENTER AND CRUCIALLY TO PROVIDE HOMELESSNESS SERVICES.

HERE WAS AN ADVERTISEMENT BY SUPPORTERS OF THE CAMPAIGN IN 2020, FEATURING THE LEADER OF FATHER JOE'S .

>> WE HAVE OVER 8,000 ON THE STREET, THIS WILL PROVIDE THOSE FUNDS.

>> THE CITY OFFICIALS ARE USING THE MONEY TO FILL BUDGET GAPS AND HAVE NOT ADDED NEW SERVICES FOR HOMELESSNESS.

AFTER YEARS OF LITIGATION, THEY STARTED COLLECTING DOLLARS FROM A 2020 BALLOT MEASURE LAST YEAR THAT PROMISED TO ADD DOLLARS ON TOP OF THE EXISTING HOMELESSNESS BUDGET.

LAST FISCAL YEAR, CITY OFFICIALS ALLOCATED ABOUT 105 MILLION ON HOMELESSNESS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.

THIS FISCAL YEAR, 102 MILLION.

THE BALLOT MEASURE SAID REVENUES WILL SUPPLEMENT, NOT REPLACE OTHER SOURCES.

BUT THE MEASURE DOES NOT REQUIRE THE COUNCIL ADOPT A SPECIFIC PLAN ABOUT SPENDING THE MONEY.

IT SAID THE COUNCIL HAS LEGAL AUTHORITY TO DO WHAT IT WANTS.

PROPONENTS OF THE MEASURE SAID THIS LANGUAGE WAS VAGUE ON PURPOSE.

IT ALLOWS CITY OFFICIALS TO USE THE DOLLARS HOW THEY SEE FIT, BUT NOT EVERYONE WAS CONVINCED.

BACK IN 2020, A HOMELESSNESS ADVOCATE NAMED MICHAEL McCONNELL PUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HIS OWN DOLLARS IN CAMPAIGNING AGAINST THE MEASURE.

HE SAID THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE OF A NET INCREASE IN HOMELESSNESS FUNDING WITH MEASURE C. HIS PREDICTIONS CAME TRUE.

THIS YEAR, THE CITY COUNCIL MADE SEVERAL CUTS TO CLOSE A $118 MILLION BUDGET DEFICIT.

IN HIS INITIAL BUNT, THE MAYOR SAID EVEN WITH HELP FROM MEASURE "C" THE CITY STILL FACED A SIGNIFICANT FISCAL CHALLENGE.

VOICE OF SAN DIEGO, THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS.

>> A CITY SPOKESPERSON TELLS US THE MEASURE C MONEY DOES ALLOW HOMELESS SERVICES BY RELIEVING STRAIN ON THE PUBLIC FUND.

LEARN MORE AT KPBS.ORG/PUBLICMATTERS.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, NATO ALLIES CONVENE IN TURKIYE WITH PROMISES TO INCREASE MILITARY SPENDING AMID GROWING PRESSURE FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP.

>>> MEDICARE IS PROPOSING CHANGES THAT COULD MAKE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT END OF LIFE CARE PREFERENCES MORE COMMON.

THE NEW RULE WOULD REQUIRE HOSPITALS TO REPORT WHETHER THE CONVERSATIONS ARE DOCUMENTED.

WE SPOKE WITH DOCTORS WHO SAY PEOPLE ARE WAITING UNTIL THEY'RE IN CRISIS TO MAKE THEIR WISHES KNOWN.

>> Reporter: NOT HAVING END OF LIFE CONVERSATIONS IS A DISSERVICE TO PATIENTS SAYS THIS DOCTOR.

>> I CAN'T COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES I WAS WORKING IN ICU, AND THE QUESTION WAS HAD, SHOULD WE BE DOING THIS.

MAKING THOSE DECISIONS AT THE MOMENT IS IMPOSSIBLE AND LEADS TO MORE NEGATIVE OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS.

>> Reporter: ONLY 1 IN 3 ADULTS HAS DOCUMENTED END OF LIFE WISHES.

THE GAP REFLECTS HOW LATE THE CONVERSATIONS ARE HAPPENING.

THIS DOCTOR RUNS PAIL YATIVE CARE AT SCRIPPS HEALTH.

>> THEY SHOULD SAY WHAT THEY WANT FOR TREATMENT.

>> Reporter: THE NEW PROCEDURE INCLUDES ADVANCED DIRECTORS, DO NOT RESUSCITATE ORDERS AND OTHER FORMS.

HE SAYS THE CHANGE COULD HELP MAKE THE CONVERSATIONS MORE CONSISTENT.

>> THE HOPE WOULD BE THAT IT'S MORE STREAMLINED.

IT REALLY IS DIFFERENT, HOSPITAL TO HOSPITAL, EVEN PROVIDER TO PROVIDER.

>> Reporter: BOTH PHYSICIANS SAY THE GOAL ISN'T SIMPLY TO DOCUMENT WISHES BUT MAKE SURE THE CONVERSATIONS ARE MEANINGFUL.

>> THAT'S ALWAYS THE CAUTION WHEN WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT BECOMES A NEW POLICY, ARE WE DOING IT JUST TO COMPLETE THE POLICY OR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PATIENT.

THAT'S WHAT WE REALLY HOPE, IS THAT WITH THE POLICY, IT DOESN'T JUST BECOME ANOTHER BOX TO CHECK.

>> Reporter: PATIENTS DON'T HAVE TO MAKE EVERY DECISION ALL AT ONCE.

>> I THINK HAVING PATIENTS UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY SAY TODAY IS NOT SET IN STONE BUT COULD BE AN EVOLVING CONVERSATION OVER TIME.

>> Reporter: THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A FINAL DECISION ON THE PROPOSAL LATER THIS SUMMER.

HEIDI DeMARCO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> DOES POLLEN MAKE YOU SNEEZE?

HAVE YOU NOTICED IT GETTING WORSE THIS YEAR?

SAN DIEGO RECENTLY RANKED SECOND IN THE NATION ON A LIST OF ALLERGY CAPITALS.

WHY AND WHAT PEOPLE CAN DO TO IMPROVE THEIR SYMPTOMS.

>> Reporter: USUALLY IT'S SPRINGTIME WHEN POLLEN ALLERGIES CAUSE ITCHY EYES, SNEEZING AND NASAL CONGESTION.

BUT IT CAN STRETCH INTO SUMMER MONTHS.

IT'S BEEN WORSE THAN NORMAL.

>> OUR PATIENTS HAVE COMPLAINED FEELING SYMPTOMS MORE THE LAST FEW YEARS.

>> Reporter: A REPORT SAYS SAN DIEGO WENT FROM THIRD BEST TO SECOND WORST LARGE CITY FOR PEOPLE DEALING WITH ALLERGIES.

DR.

CHRISTINE JAMES IS ALER GIST WITH UC SAN DIEGO HEALTH.

>> WE SAW THEY WERE PEAKING EARLIER, THE AMOUNT OF POLLEN PRODUCED WAS LARGER AND SEASONS THEMSELVES WERE LASTING LONGER.

>> Reporter: COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS, MORE CITIES IN THE WEST LANDED IN THE TOP 20 CAPITALS.

THE REPORT SAYS IT'S IN PART BECAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGES, ATMOSPHERIVE RIVERS, WARMER TEMPERATURES AND DROUGHT PLAY A PART.

WHAT SETS SAN DIEGO APART IS THE LACK OF A TRUE WINTER SEASON.

>> TREES IN SAN DIEGO REALLY COME UP IN DECEMBER/JANUARY, GO THROUGH SPRING.

THEN YOU HAVE GRASSES THAT WILL COME UP IN LATE SPRING, GO THROUGH SUMMER.

WEEDS COME UP IN LATE SUMMER AND GO THROUGH FALL.

>> Reporter: BECAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE, STORMS ARE BECOMING MORE EXTREME, AND ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS ARE LIKELY TO DROP LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER AT ONCE.

SCRIPPS DIRECTOR SIMON SAYS THE WEATHER SHIFT IS TIED TO THE MAIN CULPRIT FOR THE INCREASED POLLEN COUNT.

THE WEEDS HAVE REALLY JUMPED UP BECAUSE OF THE WAY WE HAVE OUR RAINS NOW.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE WAYS TO HELP WITH EXPOSURE, TRACKING POLLEN FORECAST THROUGH WEBSITES AND APPS AND STAYING IN WHEN COUNTS ARE HIGH.

THEY RECOMMEND SUNGLASSES, HATS AND MASKS AS NEEDED AND IMMEDIATELY WASHING CLOTHES AFTER SPENDING TIME OUTSIDE.

>> THEY'RE ALLERGENIC, CAN BE BLOWN FOR MILES AND GET IN OUR NOSE AND EYES.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR YARD, THEY'RE COMING FROM CANYONS.

>> Reporter: ANTIHISTAMINES AND SCIENCE RINSES CAN HELP TREAT THE SYMPTOMS.

THIS RECENT SHIFT MAY NOT BE PERMANENT, BUT IT COULD BE A CONTINUING TREND DUE TO LONG-TERM EFFECTS FROM CLIMATE CHANGE.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> CARLSBAD WILL SOON BE HOME TO A NEW PARK HONORING VETERANS.

ALEXANDER NGUYEN TAKES US TO THE PARK.

>> Reporter: THE MAYOR SAYS IT WILL SOON CHANGE.

CONSTRUCTION IS ABOUT TO START.

>> DIRT WILL MOVE SOON AND IN ABOUT TWO YEARS WE'LL HAVE A PARK TO ENJOY.

>> Reporter: THE CITY'S LARGEST PARK AND FIRST TO HONOR THE NATION'S VETERANS.

>> GOT EMOTIONAL OVER THIS ONE.

>> Reporter: REPRESENTS THE DISTRICT AND IS A MARINE CORPS VETERAN.

>> TO REPRESENT THIS DISTRICT AND ALL THE VETERANS, WITH THIS PARK IN THE HEART OF MY DISTRICT, CAN'T MEASURE WITH WORDS.

>> Reporter: INCLUDES A MEMORIAL PLAZA, BIKE PARK AND COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACE.

THE PLANNING MANAGER.

>> IT WILL BE A GREAT FAMILY ORIENTED DESIGN WITH PLAYGROUNDS, FITNESS AREAS, A GREAT STAIRCASE.

>> Reporter: AND IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER, A SCULPTURE CALLED THE RING WITH THE OPENING FACING THE LAGOON, A PLACE FOR REFLECTION.

>>> FOR THE 250th BIRTHDAY OF THE UNITED STATES, KPBS IS LOOKING BACK ON SAN DIEGO'S HISTORY.

THE U.S.

MILITARY CAN BE CREDITED FOR MUCH OF THE LAST CENTURY OF GROWTH.

MILITARY AND VETERANS REPORTER ANDREW DIER SAYS IT'S EVEN TRUE FOR THE LARGEST UNIVERSITY.

>> Reporter: UC SAN DIEGO IS ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD.

WHAT YOU MAY NOT REALIZE, MOST OF THE LAND IT'S ON WAS ONCE A MILITARY BASE, TWO OF THEM, ACTUALLY.

>> A MARINE CORPS BASE AT SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, A 20th CENTURY MILESTONE, COLORFUL AND HEROIC MILITARY UNIT.

>> UC HAS HAD A CLOSER HISTORY WITH THE MILITARY THAN OTHER UCs FOR SURE.

>> Reporter: HISTORY DIRECTOR, IT WAS HOME TO CAMP MATTHEWS AND ARMY BASE CAMP CALLEN.

NOW IT'S THE SITE OF TORREY PINES AND THE WESTERN CAMPUS.

MATTHEWS IS MORE CONNECTED TO THE SCHOOL.

THIS STUDENT SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE HISTORY WITH THE MILITARY WHEN HE TRANSFERRED IN TWO YEARS AGO.

>> NOT UNTIL I GOT HERE AND CAME TO THIS RESOURCE CENTER.

>> Reporter: HE NOW WORKS AT THE VETERANS RESOURCE CENTER WHERE THE OLD PHOTOS ADORN THE WALLS.

HE SAYS VETERANS AND MILITARY STUDENTS ARE SURPRISED.

>> THEY'LL BE PASSING HISTORIES, WHAT'S THAT.

IT USED TO BE US.

NOW WE'RE UCSD.

>> Reporter: CAMP MATTHEWS WAS A RIFLE RANGE IN 1920, AND MORE THAN A MILLION RECRUITS MARCHED UP TO SHOOT.

BUT SAN DIEGO WAS GROWING NORTH.

THE RECRUIT RANGES MOVED TO CAMP PENDLETON AND LA JOLLA WAS HANDED OVER TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.

THE BASE'S MAIN GATE IS THE SITE OF THE NEW TRITON CENTER.

NESTLED AMONG THE MODERNIST BUILDINGS IS 409, ORIGINAL TO CAMP MATTHEWS.

EVIDENCE THE MARINES WERE HERE HAS WHITTLED AWAY, GIVING WAY TO NEWER BUILDINGS.

EARLY THEY USED THE INFRASTRUCTURE, CLASSES HELD IN QUONSET HUTS.

TODAY A POPULAR CAFE IS BUILT OUT OF RELOCATED MARINE BUILDINGS.

EDGE OF A PARKING LOT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE MEDICAL CENTER IS A LONE GUARD SHACK, THE BACK GATE OF CAMP MATTHEWS.

GRAFFITI OF MARINES ON DUTY DATING BACK TO WORLD WAR II IS PRESERVED ON THE WALLS.

IT'S A CREDIT TO SUCCESS IT'S UNRECOGNIZABLE.

>> IT'S TYPICAL CALIFORNIA STORY, NOT REALLY MEMORIALIZING THE LANDSCAPE.

>> Reporter: SHE SAYS ATTACHMENT TO OLD BUILDINGS IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT MAY BE MISPLACED.

>> IT'S INTERESTING HOW PEOPLE REMEMBER SPACE.

NOSTALGIA IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE BUILDINGS BUT ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY THAT WAS A SIZE AND OPERATED AT A PACE THAT WAS DIFFERENT NOW.

>> UCSD AND UC MORE BROADLY, THE STATE HAS GOTTEN A GOOD RETURN ON ITS INVESTMENT.

>> Reporter: SHE RUNS THE VETERAN CENTER, THE LAND WAS HOME TO THE KUMIAI PEOPLE.

IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

>> AS THE CAMPUS GROWS, SOME THINGS MIGHT NO LONGER BE THERE, OLD BUILDINGS MIGHT BE KNOCKED DOWN.

BUT WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN AND WILL HOPEFULLY INFORM OTHERS.

>> Reporter: THE LAND IS NOW HOME TO MOST OF THE CENTRAL CAMPUS, THE VA HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL CENTER.
