IT WAS REALLY DEVASTATING.

>> IF YOU LIKE MOST PEOPLE DO IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> I'M GLAD TO SEE THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING FINALLY.

>> A WATER TENDER OPERATOR WORKING ON THE STREET REPAIRS WAS ALSO AFFECTED BY THE FIRES.

HE'S PROUD THAT HE IS PART OF THESE REPAIRS BECAUSE HE WAS ALSO PART OF THE TEAM THAT SUPPLIED THE WATER TO PUT OUT THE FIRES.

TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN THE FIRE, AND THOUSANDS OF FIREFIGHTERS WERE HURT.

GUST OF WIND'S WERE CLOCK AT 100 MILES AN HOUR THAT OCTOBER DAY MAKING THE WITCH CREEK FIRE DEADLY AND ONE OF THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE IN THE STATES HISTORY.

>> DIANE LIVES JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM THEM.

SHE'S AMONG MORE 1100 PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR HOMES IN THE FIRE.

KITTY ALVARADO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> ANOTHER MAJOR INSURER IS NO LONGER ISSUING NEW PROPERTY INSURANCE POLICIES IN CALIFORNIA.

ALLSTATE IS NO LONGER SELLING YOUR HOME, CONDOMINIUM, OR COMMERCIAL INSURANCE POLICIES IN THE STATE.

THE COMPANY SAYS MORE EXPENSIVE BUILDING COSTS AND WORSENING CLIMATE CONDITIONS LED TO THE DECISION.

THIS IS AFTER A SIMILAR MOVE WAS MADE LAST WEEK BY THE STATES LARGEST HOMEOWNER INSURANCE PROVIDER, STATE FARM.

IT CITED SIMILAR REASONS AND MENTION WILDFIRES.

START MICALLEF ON HIS JUNIOR SENATOR WAS AT THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER TODAY TO DISCUSS EFFORTS TO FIX THE REGIONS CROSS BORDERS PROBLEM WITH U.S.

SENATOR ALEX PADILLA SAYS FEDERAL OFFICIALS ARE GETTING CLOSER TO BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL SLOW THE FLOW OF SEWAGE TAINTED WATER INTO THE UNITED STATES.

MORE THAN 34 BILLION GALLONS OF DIRTY WATER HAS CROSSED THE BORDER SINCE JANUARY.

THEY SAY FIXING THE ISSUE IS A PRIORITY AND HE WANTS TO PROTECT AND FIND THE RESOURCES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

>> NOW IS THE TIME TO REALLY LEAN IN PROTECTING THIS PROJECT FROM THE CHOPPING BLOCK.

NOT JUST PROTECT FUNDING BUT ADVOCATE FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT IS LONG OVERDUE.

>> THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY CONFERENCE A SOLUTION WILL COST MORE THAN $630 MILLION.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS HAVE ABOUT HALF OF THAT AMOUNT AND MEXICAN OFFICIALS HAVE PLEDGED ANOTHER $140 MILLION FOR WORK SOUTH OF THE BORDER.

WORK ON IMPORTER SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT UPGRADE IN THE UNITED STATES COULD START NEXT YEAR.

>>> THREE YEARS AFTER TWO NORTH COUNTY WATER DISTRICT INITIATED THE PROCESS OF LEAVING THE SENEGAL COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY, A LITTLE-KNOWN GOVERNMENT BODY HEARD ARGUMENT HERE TO DECIDE IF THEY CAN.

AS KPBS NORTH COUNTY REPORTER ALEXANDER WENDT TELLS US, THE FINAL DECISION HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL AUGUST.

>>> THE LAW THAT CREATED GIVES US THE RIGHT TO DETACH.

>> MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT WANT A DIVORCE SENEGAL COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY BECAUSE THEY SAY THE WATER RATE IS TOO HIGH.

THEY WANT TO MOVE TO THE EASTERN WATER DISTRICT IN RIVERSIDE BECAUSE IT'S CHEAPER.

AS WITH ANY DIVORCE, IT'S MESSY.

>> IS CAN ONLY HASTEN THE NEGATIVE FINANCIAL IMPACT ON OUR LOCAL AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY.

>> IT AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST FALLBROOK AND RAINBOW.

>> DETACHMENT WILL ESSENTIALLY BE A TAX ON APPROXIMATELY 3 MILLION PEOPLE.

>> FOR FALLBROOK AND RAINBOW, THE ISSUE IS ONE OF FAIRNESS.

>> OVER THE LAST DECADE, THE WATER AUTHORITY HAS RISEN RATES ON FALLBROOK AND RAINBOW BY AN AVERAGE OF 8% EACH YEAR.

EACH YEAR.

IT'S NOT SUSTAINABLE.

>> MOST OF THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE FARMERS WHO SAY WATER COSTS ARE AFFECTING THEIR LIVELIHOODS.

DEVON BACKS AND USED TO FARM AVOCADOS RED WRITING WATER COSTS FOR SOME TO POSITION TO FLOWER FARMING.

>> SINCE WE TRANSITIONED TO A DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS WE REDUCE WATER USAGE 38%.

THE COST HAVE GONE UP 49% EVEN TO THE CONSERVATION EFFORTS.

HE WAS DETACHING FROM THE 24 WATER 30 WITH A FALLBROOK AND RAINBOW CUSTOMER $7 MILLION A YEAR.

BENDIGO HAS SOME OF THE HIGHEST WATER RATES IN THE NATION.

MIMI FROM COST OF TRANSPORTING WATER.

IF IT COST FALLBROOK AND RAMBLE $24 MILLION TO LEAVE.

THE WATER AUTHORITY DEPOSES ATTACHMENT, MADE BENDIGO MART DROUGHT RESISTANT.

>> TO LET THE REST OF THE REGION FOR THESE BILLS.

AND UNFAIRLY CAUSE PEOPLE'S WATER RATES TO INCREASE.

>> THE DECISION WHETHER FALLBROOK AND REVOKING LEAVE REST ON THE SAN DIEGO LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION.

THAT THE GOVERNMENT BODY THAT DECIDES BOUNDARY DISPUTES BETWEEN PUBLIC AGENCIES.

THE COMMISSION HAS A FEW OPTIONS.

LEAVE THINGS AS THEY ARE, PROVE THE DETACHMENT WITHOUT CONDITIONS, APPROVED DETACHMENT WITH A $24 MILLION EXIT FEE OR DELAY THE DECISION UNTIL AFTER A MULTIYEAR STUDY.

>> COMMISSIONERS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT PASSING COSTS TO THE REMAINING CUSTOMERS HAD TO LEAD THE VOTE TILL AUGUST TO STUDY THE ISSUE FURTHER.

>> ALEXANDER WENDT, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IT HAPPENED AGAIN, A GROUP OF AROUND 20 MIGRANTS ARRIVED IN SACRAMENTO TODAY ON A PRIVATE FLIGHT.

THAT'S AFTER 16 SOUTH AMERICAN MIGRANTS WERE FLOWN TO THE STATE CAPITAL ON FRIDAY.

THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS APPEARS TO HAVE ARRANGED TO TRAVEL.

STEVE LARGE REPORTS.

>> WE BELIEVE THE STATE OF FLORIDA, GOVERNOR DESANTIS, IS BEHIND IT.

GOVERNOR DESANTIS HAS DEMONSTRATED HIS PETTINESS, LACK OF SUBSTANCE, HIS XENOPHOBIA.

>> ATTORNEY GENERAL ROB BLASTING FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS.

>> AND HIS WILLINGNESS TO TREAT HUMAN BEINGS, PEOPLE, AS POLITICAL PONDS.

IT IS WRONG.

AND WE ARE GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.

>> 16 ASYLUM-SEEKERS WERE FLOWN INTO SACRAMENTO ON FRIDAY ON A PRIVATE JET FROM TEXAS BY A FLORIDA STATE CONTRACTOR.

A COMPANY CALLED VIRTUAL SYSTEMS.

>> THEY HAVE HIRED THEM TO IDENTIFY MIGRANTS IN TEXAS ARE NOT IN FLORIDA, IN TEXAS.

AND MOVE THEM TO OTHER STATES.

WITH THE MIGRANTS FROM VENEZUELA AND COLOMBIA WERE PROMISED WORK IF THEY BOARDED THE PLANE AND THEN LEFT OUTSIDE THE SACRAMENTO CATHOLIC DIOCESE BUILDING WITH NOTHING.

>> OBVIOUSLY WE SHOULD DO OUR BEST TO PRAY FOR THEM.

>> FAITH-BASED TECH RENTAL ACT IS HELPING CARE FOR THE GROUP.

>> THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS.

THEY ARE PEOPLE WITH FAMILIES.

THERE ARE SOME YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO SUPPORT OR MAKE A LIFE FOR THEMSELVES, PEOPLE WHO LEFT THEIR CHILDREN BEHIND IN THIS GROUP.

>>> IN 2022, DESANTIS CLAIMED CREDIT FOR FLYING A GROUP OF MIGRANTS FROM TEXAS TO MARTHA'S VINEYARD USING THE SAME CONTRACTOR.

A POLITICAL STATEMENT AGAINST DEMOCRATIC STATES HE VIEWED AS ANTI-IMMIGRATION REFORM.

NOW, CALIFORNIA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL CALLING HIM OUT FOR THE SAME STUNT.

ONLY THIS ONE IS PUTTING SACRAMENTO AT CENTER STAGE.

>> IT'S VERY STRANGE AT BEST AND POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL.

IT COULD CRIMINALLY LAWS AND CIVIL LAWS.

THEY GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.

>> GOVERNOR DESANTIS OFFICE DID NOT RESPOND FOR COMMENT.

MEANWHILE, ACT SAYS ASYLUM- SEEKERS HAVE COURT DATES SOON AND OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THAT THEY MAY NOW MISS.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, NURSE PEOPLE JOURNALIST WALK OFF THE JOB TO PROTEST WORKING CONDITIONS.

THAT'S COMING UP AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> BUS DRIVERS REMAIN ON THE PICKET LINE TODAY AFTER AN OFFER BY CONTRACTOR TRAN STUFF WAS REJECTED.

THEY SAID THE OFFER DID NOT ADDRESS THE DRIVERS MAIN CONCERNS WHICH INCLUDE BETTER PAY AND WORK CONDITIONS.

A SPOKESPERSON SAYS OF THE CONTRACTOR WAS SURPRISED AND DISAPPOINTED BY YESTERDAY'S FAILED VOTE.

THEY HAVE BEEN ONGOING NEGOTIATION SINCE JANUARY.

>>> RAIL SERVICE HAS HALTED ONCE AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER LANDSLIDE.

SOME MUD AND ROCKS FELL BETWEEN THE TRACKS.

CREWS ARE INSPECTING MOVEMENT ON THE HILLSIDE OVERLOOKING THE TRACKS.

JUST BELOW THE CASTLE CULTURAL CENTER AND GARDENS.

IT'S UNCLEAR HOW LONG SERVICE WILL BE IMPACTED.

>>> AS AIR TRAVEL PICKS UP, SO OUR INCIDENCES INVOLVING BAD BEHAVIOR ON FLIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD.

THERE WAS HOPE THAT THE END OF MASK MANDATES WOULD IMPROVE THE TREND.

AS IVAN RODRIGUEZ REPORTS, IT'S ACTUALLY GOING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.

>> PASSENGERS BEHAVING BADLY MID AIR.

THE DISTURBING TREND OF UNRULY PASSENGERS ON FLIGHTS IS STEADILY ON THE RISE.

ACCORDING TO A NEW GLOBAL ANALYSIS BY THE INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION.

THE NUMBER OF INCIDENCES UP BY MORE THAN A THIRD AND 2022, FROM 2021.

INCIDENCES OF PROBLEMATIC PASSENGERS INCREASING BY A WHOPPING 37% YEAR AROUND YEAR.

SOME OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES, INTOXICATION, VERBAL ABUSE, AND NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE RULES.

VAPING AND SUCKING AS THE LEADING ROLE BROKEN BY FLYERS AND FAILURE TO FASTEN SEATBELTS WHEN INSTRUCTED.

EXCEEDING THE CARRY-ON BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE, OR FAILING TO STORE BAGGAGE WHEN REQUIRED.

AND CONSUMPTION OF YOUR OWN ALCOHOL ON BOARD.

WHILE IN FLIGHT, PHYSICAL VIOLENCE REMAINS RARE, THERE WAS A DISTURBING 61% RISE FROM 2021 TO 2220.

>> IS SOMEBODY AS BELLIGERENT OR ABUSIVE, THERE IS NO REAL IMMEDIATE REMEDY.

YOU CANNOT KICK THEM OFF THE PLANE.

IT WAS IN RESPONSE, AIRLINES ALONG WITH THE FAA ARE WORKING TOWARDS ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICIES WITH THE HOPE OF CURBING MISCONDUCT.

>> DO NOT DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE A THREAT OR DISRUPTION TO YOUR FELLOW PASSENGERS AND FLIGHT CREWS.

THE PILOT ALWAYS SAYS THAT FLIGHT ATTENDANTS ARE THERE PRIMARILY FOR YOUR SAFETY.

AND THAT IS RIGHT.

>> I AM IVAN RODRIGUEZ, REPORTING.

>>> IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE.

GUNS KILL MORE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

NATIONAL SAFE DAY OBSERVED OVER THE WEEKEND.

AS MANDY GAVE THE REPORTS, THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER GUN STORAGE AND GUN SAFETY, EVEN EXPENSE OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME.

>>> IT CAN HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT.

LITTLE HANDS ON A GUN CAN HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.

>> I THINK WE AS PARENTS CAN MEET TOGETHER WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SAFETY FOR OUR KIDS.

IT WAS BETWEEN 2015 AND 2022 COME ANALYSIS BY EVERY TOWN FOR GUN SAFETY FOUND THERE WERE 2800 UNINTENTIONAL SHOOTINGS BY CHILDREN AGE 17 AND YOUNGER RESULTING IN NEARLY 1100 DEATHS AND MORE THAN 1800 NONFATAL INJURIES.

INCLUDING NEARLY 900 PRESCHOOLERS AND TODDLERS WHO FOUND A GUN AND UNINTENTIONALLY SHOT THEMSELVES OR SOMEONE ELSE.

THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS SAYS IT'S CRITICAL TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ON GUN SAFETY WITH OTHER PARENTS BEFORE YOUR CHILD GOES ON A PLAY DATE.

>> BLAMING THE A KID, MY KID IS CURIOUS AND GETTING INTO THINGS SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS PUT AWAY SAFELY AND SECURELY INCLUDING FIREARMS IN THE HOME.

>> TO STOP BY FROM CONVERSATION AROUND SAFETY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS PETS OR ALLERGIES.

USE NONJUDGMENTAL LANGUAGE.

IF GUNS ARE PRESENT, ASK HOW THE FIREARMS ARE STORED.

>> THE MOST SECURE WAYS TO HAVE THE FIREARM AND AMMUNITION SEPARATED AND LOCKED AWAY SEPARATELY.

THAT'S REALLY NOT SOMETHING A FAMILY CAN DO.

THERE ARE WAYS THAT YOU CAN SECURE YOUR GUN WITH A LOCKBOX OR SAFE.

>> IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ANY ANSWERS, CHOOSE ANOTHER NEUTRAL PLACE FOR YOUR KIDS TO PLAY.

>> MAYBE INVITE THE CHILD OVER TO YOUR HEALTH.

>>> RESEARCHES ARE A STEP CLOSER TO CREATING A VACCINE THAT CAN PROTECT US AGAINST MULTIPLE CORONAVIRUS'S.

KPBS REPORTER THOMAS FARGE TELLS US ABOUT A PLAN TO TARGET THE FAMILY OF VIRUSES THAT BROUGHT US COVID-19.

>> OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES, THREE CORONAVIRUS'S HAVE SPREAD DEADLY OUTBREAKS.

SARS, MARS, AND COVID-19.

WHAT IF ONE VACCINE COULD HAVE STOPPED ALL OF THOSE AND MANY MORE.

RESEARCH AT THE LA JOLLA INSTITUTE FOR IMMUNOLOGY FOUND THAT COULD BE DONE.

ALESSANDRO IS A PROFESSOR OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES AT THE INSTITUTE.

HE SAYS CORONAVIRUS IS ARE SIMILAR ENOUGH TO BE VULNERABLE TO THE SAME VACCINE.

>> YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH CORONAVIRUS MAY HIT YOU BUT IT SHOULD WORK BECAUSE HE MADE A RESPONSE, YOU FOCUS YOUR RESPONSE ON THINGS THAT ARE NOT CHANGING WHEN YOU GO FROM ONE CORONAVIRUS TO ANNEX.

>> THEY SHARE PROTEIN SEQUENCES THAT ARE IMMUNE SYSTEM CAN RECOGNIZE AND TARGET.

>> THE IDEA IS THAT IF WE CAN IDENTIFY THOSE PARTS OF THE VIRUS.

THE VACCINE SHOULD WORK AGAINST ALL THE DIFFERENT VIRUSES.

>> OF THE OPTICS WE HAVE SEEN RECENTLY, COVID-19 AND MERS ARE STILL ONGOING.

COVID-19 HAS BEEN THE MOST DEADLY HAVING KILLED NEARLY 7 PEOPLE WORLDWIDE ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.

HE SAYS HIS CURRENT GOAL IS TO GATHER MORE DATA AND MOVE BEYOND JUST THE CORONAVIRUS.

>> OTHER VIRAL FAMILIES OF POTENTIAL CONCERN THAT COULD MEDIATE A FUTURE PANDEMIC.

>>.

FOR KPBS NEWS, I'M METEOROLOGIST JUSTIN.

>>> DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO IS A VIBRANT PLACE AND IT SEEMS THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO SEE AND DO.

THAT IS THE CASE THAT THE NEW CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.

AS KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL TELLS US, THIS NEW THING HAS ITS ROOTS IN THE DEEP AND DISTANT PAST.

>>> INSIDE THE WALLS OF THE NEW CHILDREN'S MUSEUM THERE ARE 20 OF INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES.

ART MEANT TO SPARK CREATIVITY, EXPLORATION, AND A SENSE OF BELONGING.

NOW, THE MUSEUM HAS BURST THROUGH ITS WALLS FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING TO THIS.

THE PEOPLE'S GARDEN AND THE LANGUAGE IS JUST A CROSSED ISLAND AVENUE FROM THE NEW CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.

UTILIZING A GRANT, THE MUSEUM PARTNERED WITH THE INDIAN CHARTER SCHOOL, CULTURAL CENTER AND MUSEUM AND THE SAN DIEGO AUDUBON SOCIETY TO CREATE THIS.

CREATORS WERE SEVENTH GRADERS FROM THE CHARTER SCHOOL.

LAURIE IS A DIRECTOR AND CURATOR OF THE CULTURAL CENTER AND MUSEUM.

HE WAS PART OF THIS EXPERIENCE WAS TO LEARN ART.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS IN ALL OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS.

>> EXCHANGE FOR THE CHILDREN LEARNING ABOUT PLANTS USED BY THEIR ANCESTORS IS AS HAGLEY SAYS COMBINED WITH THE CREATION OF ART.

>> I LIKE THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE NATURAL COLORS AND SOIL >> IS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED.

>> THE STUDENTS CREATED THIS GARDEN IN LATE MAY SO THAT THE PLANS ARE ALL YOUNG.

BUT THE ORIGINAL PURPOSES OR NOT.

THE STORIES BEHIND MANY OF THEM ARE ANCIENT.

>> REALLY KNOWN FOR A GOOD WORD TO SOURCE FOR TOOLS.

AND YOU CAN EAT THE BERRIES.

>> SUNFLOWERS.

>> THIS IS A NATIVE VARIETY, THEY DON'T GET AS BIG BUT JUST AS BEAUTIFUL.

>> LILACS AND MILKWEED, AND I PLAN TO USE BY THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF THIS REGION BUT GREAT FOR MONARCH BUTTERFLIES.

WHEN IT COMES TO ONE PARTICULAR PLANT IN THIS GARDEN, ART MEETS FUNCTION MEETS ART.

THIS PRICKLY PEAR RIGHT HERE.

WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS YOU WILL SEE THERE IS ARTWORK OF THE PLANT ITSELF DOWN THERE ON THAT STONE.

THE PLANT FUNCTION WISE AS YOU MAY KNOW IS EDIBLE.

BACK TO THE ART, I LEARNED TODAY THAT THE NATIVE AMERICANS USED THE ARMS TO CREATE TATTOOS.

>> OUR ACCESS POINTS FOR ALL OF THE INFORMATION IS ART.

>> THE STUDIOS MANAGER AT THE NEW CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.

>> WHEN WE HAVE A PROGRAMMING OUT HERE, WE WILL DO A SCAVENGER HUNT OF ALL OF THE PLANTS IN SPACE AND MAYBE SOME OF THE BUGS THAT LIVE THERE.

>> THE SPACE WAS CREATED BY AND IS PRIMARILY FOR CHILDREN.

HE SAYS IT'S ALSO FOR THE COMMUNITY TO FOSTER ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND CLIMATE LITERACY.

>> WE ARE HOPING THIS FOSTERS THE WHOLE ECOSYSTEM THAT WANTS TO LIVE HERE FROM THE BE IS TO THE BUTTERFLIES.

TO ALL THE LITTLE CRITTERS.

>> EVEN IN THE EARLY DAYS, SAYS HE'S ALREADY HAVING AN IMPACT.

>> PEOPLE WALK BY AND SAY I WANT TO DO THIS IN MY PLACE WHICH IS GREAT.

SPEAKING TO THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE PLANTS AND NOT PUTTING ANY PLANT IN YOUR PLACE, JUST BEING AWARE OF THAT I THINK IS TREMENDOUS.

HE WAS THE NEW CHILDREN'S MUSEUM PLANS ON DOING MORE AND MORE PROGRAMMING OUT HERE AS TIME GOES ON AND THE PLANTS GROW.

A FENCE WILL GO UP TO KEEP IT SAFE BUT IT WILL BE OPEN DURING THE DAY.

A PLACE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO COME AND LEARN SOMETHING.

PERHAPS TO BE INSPIRED.

YOU COULD SAY A PLACE WHERE YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

HARVEST BEING A SENSE OF CALM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY AND A DEEPER KNOWLEDGE OF AND GRATITUDE FOR THE PEOPLE.

THE FIRST HUMANS WHO LIVED HERE.
