THANK YOU.

♪ ♪ >>> IT WAS YEARS IN THE MAKING AND TONIGHT THE CENTERPIECE OF CHULA VISTA'S BAYFRONT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT IS NOW OPEN.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

THAT PROJECT INCLUDES PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND A HUGE NEW HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER, AND THAT IS WHERE KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER NGUYEN JOINS US LIVE.

ALEX?

>> MAYA, MOMENTS AGO THEY HELD A RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY AND RIGHT NOW PEOPLE ARE PARTYING.

THE FESTIVITIES ARE FOR INVITED GUESTS.

TOMORROW IS WHEN IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND AS YOU SAID, THIS MOMENT WAS YEARS IN THE MAKING.

THE CHAIRS ARE LAID OUT BY THE POOL, THE LAZY RIVER AND SLIDES ARE READY, AND MARTINI GLASSES POLISHED AND HUNG.

AT THE LONG-AWAITED $1.3 BILLION GAYLORD PACIFIC.

>> IT'S ONE OF THE LONGEST-AWAITED EVENTS IN THE HOSPITAL INDUSTRY.

>> THIS IS THE SIXTH RESORT AND THE LARGEST YET.

>> PETE WARREN SAYS GUESTS CAN EXPECT A LARGER THAN LIFE EXPERIENCE.

>> WHATEVER YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU THINK OF A HOTEL, THIS IS BIGGER, IT'S BOLDER.

IT HAS A LOT MORE INTERESTING COMPONENTS TO IT.

>> INCLUDING 1600 ROOM, 12 BARS AND RESTAURANTS, AND A 4.25 ACRE WATER PARK WITH A VIEW OF SAN DIEGO BAY.

>> IT IS GOING TO BE THE TOWN CENTER FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

>> BUT GETTING HERE WAS A CHALLENGE.

PLANS TO REVITALIZE THE CHULA VISTA BAYFRONT STARTED IN 2002.

THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION APPROVED THE MASTER PLAN IN 2012.

>> COVID, INFLATION, INTEREST RATE RISE, ET CETERA.

>> AND THE GROUNDBREAKING HAPPENED IN 2022.

IRA MITZNER IS WITH GAYLORD PACIFIC MANAGING PARTNERS.

>> DAD WANTS TO COME WATCH A SOCCER GAME, THEY'LL COME TO THE SPORTS BAR.

>> IT IS EXCLUSIVED TO BE A DEVELOPMENT AT CATALYST FOR THE LOTS NEXT DOOR.

IT EXPECTS TO HIRE 1600 WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE.

>> BACK TO YOU LIVE -- BACK HERE LIVE, THE RESORT IS EXPECTED TO BE -- TO GENERATE ABOUT $475 MILLION IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR THE CITY.

NOW THIS IS PART OF A BIGGER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT INCLUDES MORE PARKS, MORE RESTAURANT, EVEN MORE HOTEL.

FOR NOW, LIVE FROM THE CHULA VISTA BAYFRONT.

I'M ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> I'M ARIELA SCALESE.

NOT TOO CLOUDY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 50s.

COMING UP TONIGHT, WE STAY DRY AND WARMER THROUGH FRIDAY, BUT A COOLER, CLOUDIER, WINDY WEEKEND ON THE WAY WITH AREAS OF PRECIPITATION AND WE WARM RIGHT BACK UP NEXT WEEK.

>>> THE SUPREME COURT HEARD ORAL ARGUMENTS ABOUT THE ENFORCEMENT OF PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP EXECUTIVE ORDER TODAY.

AS LAURA AGUIRRE EXPLAINS, CONSERVATIVE COURTS SEEM OPEN TO NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS AND IS WEARY ABOUT THE BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ISSUE.

>> THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WANTS THE SUPREME COURT TO DETERMINE IF LOWER COURT JUDGES HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO INTERFERE WITH OR BAN PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS PUSHING BACK AGAINST THREE SUCH LOWER COURT RULINGS THAT HAVE STALLED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ATTEMPT TO END BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP IN THE U.S. >> THE ORIGINAL MEANING EXTENDED CITIZENSHIP TO THE CHILDREN OF FORMER SLAVES AND NOT TO PEOPLE WHO WERE UNLAWFULLY OR TEMPORARILY PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES.

>> WE SAID AFTER THE CIVIL WAR WE WOULD NEVER AGAIN DEBATE WHETHER A CHILD BORN ON U.S.

SOIL IS, IN FACT, AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.

>> THE ADMINISTRATION FRAMES ITS ARGUMENT AS A MODEST EFFORT TO LIMIT THE ABILITY OF LOWER COURTS TO ISSUE UNIVERSAL INJUNK, BUT CRITICS SAY A RULING IN THE ADMINISTRATION'S FAVOR IN THIS CASE COULD ALLOW IT TO, IN ESSENCE, OVERTURN THE 14th AMENDMENT.

>> IF WE TAKE THAT AWAY THEN WE HAVE BABIES BORN IN THIS COUNTRY WITH NO ATTACHMENT TO ANY COUNTRY.

>> SOME OF THE KEY POINTS BEING ENGAGED BY BOTH LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES TODAY ALLOWING TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER TO STAND COULD LEAD TO REQUIRING INDIVIDUALS TO FILE THEIR OWN LAWSUITS TO PROTECT THEIR CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP WOULD ONLY BE UPHELD ON A STATE-BY-STATE BASIS.

>> SAY COLORADO BRINGS A CASE LIKE THE ONE WE DID HERE, BUT SAY IDAHO DOESN'T.

WHAT HAPPENS?

IF YOU'RE BORN IN IDAHO YOU'RE NOT A CITIZEN AND YOU MOVE TO COLORADO, YOU BECOME ONE?

>> WE'RE STANDING NOT ONLY ON A MORAL CASE, AND THE RULE OF LAW AND WHAT'S BEEN IN CONTEXT FOR 150 YEARS.

>> I'M LAURA AGUIRRE FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> AS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES ITS MASS DEPORTATION CAMPAIGN, IMMIGRATION LAWYERS SAY ASYLUM SEEKERS ARE BEING DENIED DUE PROCESS.

KPBS BORDER REPORTER GUSTAVO SOLIS HAS THE STORY OF ONE DISABLED MAN IN A SAN DIEGO AREA DETENTION CENTER.

>> A DEAF AND MUTE MONGOLIAN MAN HAS SPENT MORE THAN 80 DAYS AT THE OTAY MESA DETENTION CENTER.

HIS SISTER, A U.S. CITIZEN, IS WILLING TO SPONSOR HIM, BUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO DEPORT HIM.

ANDREA MONTALBAN IS THE MAN'S IMMIGRATION LAWYER.

SHE SAYS THIS CASE IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS HAVE ELIMINATED DUE PROCESS PROTECTIONS.

SHE SAYS HER CLIENT CROSSED THE BORDER IN SAN DIEGO IN FEBRUARY AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED HIMSELF IN TO BORDER PATROL AGENTS.

>> HE GAVE THEM A LETTER THAT WAS WRITTEN IN MONGOLIAN AND TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH AND THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT.

THEY REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT IT, AND THAT LETTER EXPLAINED THAT HE FEARED RETURNING TO MONGOLIA AND WANTED TO APPLY FOR ASYLUM.

>> KPBS AGREED TO REFER TO HIM BY HIS NICKNAME BAY, DUE TO DISCLOSING HIS IDENTITY WOULD JEOPARDIZE HIS CASE.

BORDER PATROL TRANSFERRED HIM TO OTAY MESA.

HE WAS PUT IN A FAST TRACK DEPORTATION PROCESS CALLED EXPEDITED REMOVAL.

PEOPLE WHO EXPRESSED FEAR OF RETURNING HOME WERE GIVEN SCREENING WITH A TRAINED ASYLUM OFFICER.

THEY GET TO SEE AN IMMIGRATION JUDGE.

>> TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER REMOVED THAT SCREENING PROCESS.

INSTEAD, BAY WENT THROUGH A DIFFERENT ASSESSMENT WITHOUT HIS LAWYER PRESENT.

>> THE MOST HE COULD DO WAS WRITE ON A PIECE OF PAPER MONGOLIA, AND THEN MAKE -- USE BODY LANGUAGE TO INDICATE THAT HE'S AFRAID.

OKAY?

THAT'S ALL HE COULD DO.

>> MONTALBAN BELIEVES THAT THE I.C.E.

INTERPRETER USED AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE, NOT MONGOLIAN SIGN LANGUAGE.

BAY COULDN'T UNDERSTAND MOST OF THE INTERPRETER'S SIGNS.

>> SO HE'S LOOKING AT A SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER THROUGH A SCREEN WHO HE CAN'T -- HE CAN BARELY UNDERSTAND.

HE UNDERSTANDS MAYBE A FEW SIGNS HERE AND THERE.

>> YET THE OFFICER DETERMINED THAT BAY WAS NOT IN DANGER BACK HOME, PUTTING HIM AT RISK OF BEING DEPORTED.

>> I THINK IT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW IMMIGRANTS ARE RECEIVING NO DUE PROCESS.

I MEAN, YOU'RE INTERVIEWEDED IN A LANGUAGE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND BY SOMEONE WHO WORKS FOR DHS, IS A DHS EMPLOYEE, YOU'RE NOT TAKEN IN FRONT OF A JUDGE.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANYBODY NEUTRAL OR UNBIASSED WHO IS LOOKING AT YOUR CASE.

>> THE EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT I.C.E.

IS USING TO JUSTIFY THIS TREATMENT IS CALLED GUARANTEEING THE STATE'S PROTECTION AGAINST INVASION.

IT PORTRAYS IMMIGRANTS WITHOUT LEGAL STATUS AS A PUBLIC SAFETY RISK.

MONTALBAN SAYS BAY IS NOT A CRIMINAL AND THERE'S EXTENSIVE EVIDENCE FOR HIM BEING PERSECUTED IN MONGOLIA.

>> BECAUSE OF HIS DISABILITY HE WAS SEEN BY OTHERS AS DEFECTIVE AND LESS THAN HUMAN AND HE WAS BEATEN SEVERELY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BY BAD ACTORS.

HE REPORTED THEM TO THE POLICE.

THE POLICE DID NOTHING.

THESE PEOPLE WERE NEVER ARRESTED.

IN ONE CASE IN 2020 HE ENDED UP WITH A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY.

ON ANOTHER OCCASION HE HAD BONES BROKEN.

SO THERE'S NO PROTECTION FOR HIM.

>> KPBS CONFIRMED THAT BAY IS CURRENTLY IN A PRIVATE DETENTION CENTER RUN BY THE COMPANY CORE CIVIC.

MONTALBAN SAYS HE'S BEEN THERE 80 DAYS.

I.C.E.

DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND TO REQUEST FOR COMMENT.

ACCORDING TO A 2024 BUDGET ANALYSIS, IT COST TAXPAYERS ON AVERAGE $217 A DAY TO DETAIN SOMEONE IN SAN DIEGO.

THAT'S MORE THAN $17,000 OF TAXPAYER MONEY SPENT KEEPING BAY DETAINED.

HIS SISTER, BEAMA IS WILLING TO HOUSE HIM FOR FREE.

>> YEAH.

I HAVE A ROOM READY FOR HIM, AND I HAVE A NICE TOWNHOME IN VIRGINIA.

>> LIKE BAY, BEAMA ASKED KPBS NOT TO SHARE HER FULL NAME.

BEAMA SAYS SHE'S AFRAID OF SPEAKING OUT, BUT FEELS IT IS IMPORTANT FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO HEAR HER BROTHER'S STORY.

ALL SHE WANTS IS FOR HIM TO HAVE A FAIR SHOT AT ANITARIAN PROTECTION.

>> GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO TELL HIS STORY.

SO ALL WE ARE ASKING IS FAIRNESS ON HIS PART.

>> BEAMA SAYS HER BROTHER FEELS COMPLETELY ALONE IN THE DETENTION CENTER.

MOSTLY BECAUSE HE'S UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH ANYONE FROM STAFF, MEDICAL WORKERS OR OTHER DETAINEES.

>> IT'S NOT JUST THAT HE'S BEEN DETAINED, BUT IT'S THAT HE'S COMPLETELY CUT OFF FROM UNDERSTANDING OR PARTICIPATING IN WHAT'S HAPPENING TO HIM.

SO AND THAT'S WHAT BREAKS MY HEART.

>> EARLIER THIS WEEK MONTALBAN FILED A MOTION TO PREVENT BAY'S DEPORTATION.

GUSTAVO SOLIS, KPBS NEWS.

>>> AS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS PLOW AHEAD WITH MOVES ON IMMIGRATION, TRADE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY, OFFICIALS IN IMPERIAL COUNTY ARE TAKING A CAUTIOUS TONE.

COREY SUZUKI SAYS THEY SEE BOTH BENEFITS AND RISKS.

>> IMPERIAL COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE OPTIMIST BIK SOME OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ACTIONS INCLUDING NATURAL RESOURCES.

THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT WANTS TO INCREASE THE DOMESTIC SUPPLY OF CRITICAL MINERALS WHICH OFFICIALS HAVE HAD THE UNDERGROUND LITHIUM RESERVES.

ON TUESDAY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MET WITH LOBBYISTS FROM PARAGON GOVERNMENTAL RELATION, THE FIRM THAT PUSHES THE PRIORITIES IN WASHINGTON.

HASSAN SARSOUR IS WITH PARAGON.

>> OTHER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE PLANNED SWEEPING CUTS TO PROGRAMS LIKE MEDICAID, THE NATION NATION'S LOW-COST HEALTH CARE PLAN.

PARAGON LOBBYIST SAYS THEY'VE MADE IT A PRIORITY TO PUSH BACK ON THESE CUTS.

>> WE ARE VERY AGGRESSIVELY LOBBYING ON THIS ISSUE.

I KNOW WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT WHEN THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE OUT HERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

>> TRUMP'S, FORTS TO HARDEN THE BORDER ARE REDUCING CROSS-BORDER TRAFFIC AND STIFLING SALES TAX REVENUE.

COREY SUZUKI, K PBS NEWS.

>>> JEN SULLIVAN BREAKS DOWN WHAT THESE NUMBERS MEAN FOR YOUR WALLET.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURES RISE, SO DOES SPENDING, TYPICALLY AMERICANS SHELL OUT MORE MONEY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IN THE LATEST CONSUMER-PRICE INDEX DATA RELEASED THIS WEEK IS GOOD NEWS FOR CONSUMERS AHEAD OF THE START OF SUMMER.

>> THE CPI OR CONSUMER-PRICE INDEX IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT WILL MONITOR THE CHANGE OF PRICES MONTH OVER MONTH.

>> ANNUAL INFLATION COOL TWO.3% IN APRIL AND OVERALL PRICES WENT UP BY ONLY 0.2% FROM THE MONTH BEFORE.

>> THIS WAS WITHIN THE RANGE OF EXPECTATIONS, BUT ON THE LOWER END.

>> THE GOOD NEWS IS OVERALL PRICES FOR FOOD, GAS AND AIR TRAVEL ARE DOWN.

THOSE HIGH EGG PRICES WE'VE BEEN SEEING HAVE FINALLY CRACKED.

EGG PRICES DIPPED MORE THAN 12% LAST MONTH.

THE BAD NEWS IS SHELTER COSTS ARE UP WHICH MEASURES HOW MUCH WE SPEND ON HOUSING, AND THAT ACCOUNTS FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE FAMILY'S BUDGETS.

>> THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST COSTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE, WHETHER THEY'RE RENTING OR WHETHER THEY'RE OWNING.

THE COSTS THAT YOU HAVE MONTH TO MONTH IS GOING TO IMPACT HOW MUCH OTHER MONEY YOU HAVE TO PUT TOWARD OTHER RESOURCES.

>> THE OTHER CONCERN FOR CONSUMERS, FINANCIAL ANALYSTS LIKE STEPHEN KATIE WORRY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S IMPORTS COULD CAUSE PRICES TO RISE AS WE GET CLOSER TO SUMMER.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF BUSINESSES THAT STILL HAVE PRE-TARIFF INVENTORIES AND AS THOSE DWINDLE THEY WILL BE FORCED TO IMPORT MORE ITEMS AND IF THOSE ARE AT HIGHER COSTS THEY MAY PASS THE COSTS ON TO CONSUMERS.

>> WITH TRADE TALKS RAPIDLY CHANGING, IT MEANS UNCERTAINTY FOR PRICES IN THE COMING MONTHS.

FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M JEN SULLIVAN.

>> THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT FUND AND REGULATE DRUG DISCOVERIES THIS YEAR ANNOUNCED A BROAD PLAN FROM PERFORMING TESTING ON ANIMALS FOR DRUG SAFETY AND EFFICACY.

KPBS REPORTER THOMAS FUDGE EXPLORES WHAT THIS MEANS FOR SCIENCE AND THE STEPS SAN DIEGO SCIENTISTS HAVE ALREADY TAKEN.

>> IN A LAB AT THE UC SAN DIEGO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE WE SEE A VIDEO OF A HUMAN LUNG WITH A FORM OF FIBROSIS SHOWN HERE IN RED, BUT THIS ISN'T REALLY A LUNG.

IT'S A MINIATURE MODEL OF A LUNG MADE FROM HUMAN STEM CELLS.

IT'S CALLED ANNING ORGANOID.

>> WE HAVE A WAY TO SCREEN THE DRUG TO REVERSE THIS EXACT CONDITION BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT WITHOUT THESE CELLS YOU CANNOT FIBROSE A LUNG, YOU CANNOT SCAR A LUNG.

>> PRADISH IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING DRUG DISCOVERY BY TESTING WITH HUMAN TISSUE.

THE PROBLEM WITH ANIMAL TRIALS AND THE CURRENT SYSTEM OF DRUG APPROVAL IS PRETTY CLEAR.

>> WE HAVE A REPORT CARD THAT WE CAN'T REALLY IGNORE, CAN WE?

OUR REPORT CARD SAYS WE GET IT NINE OUT OF TEN TIMES WRONG, THAT IS THE DRUG, AT LEAST.

>> YES, ABOUT 90% OF DRUGS UNDER DEVELOPMENT FAIL IN HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS.

THE FINAL STAGE OF THE APPROVAL PROCESS.

TESTING A NEW DRUG FROM END TO END USUALLY TAKES A DECADE AND CAN COST MORE THAN A BILL BILLION DOLLARS WHETHER IT IS EVENTUALLY APPROVED OR NOT.

ANIMAL TESTING IS ONE PROBLEM.

YOU SEE, PEOPLE ARE NOT MICE.

>> AND WE HAVE EVOLVED DIFFERENTLY.

WE KNOW OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS ARE VASTLY DIFFERENT.

>> THE NEWS OF CHANGING POLICIES ON DRUG TRIALS WERE ANNOUNCED BY THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION AND THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH LAST MONTH.

>> TODAY WE ANNOUNCED A DRAMATIC REDUCTION IN ANIMAL TESTING AT NIH AND FDA.

>> THE NIH ANNOUNCED IT WILL CREATE A NEW OFFICE TO DEVELOP THE USE OF NON-ANIMAL APPROACHES AND ITS DIRECTOR SAID, QUOTE, THIS HUMAN-BASED APPROACH WILL ACCELERATE INNOVATION AND MARK A CRITICAL STEP FORWARD FOR SCIENCE.

PRADIPTA FAVORS ORGANOID TESTING AND COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS, BUT ADOPTING NEW, HUMAN-BASED FORM OF TESTING PRESENTS SOME CHALLENGES.

>> COST IS HIGH, SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE LIMITED TO A FEW LABS STILL IN THE WORLD.

>> THIS IS ALL HAPPENING AT A TIME WHEN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS PROPOSING DRAMATIC CUTS, PERHAPS MORE THAN 40% TO THE BUDGET OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH.

TO HER, THAT'S A PROBLEM.

>> HOW DO YOU INVEST IN SOMETHING THAT IS MORE -- REQUIRES MORE SKILLS, REQUIRES MORE RESOURCES, REQUIRES MORE INFRASTRUCTURE -- OH, AND BY THE WAY, IN THE BACKDROP OF LESS FUNDING, THAT COULD BE -- COULD BE A LITTLE DIFFICULT TASK.

>> SOME PEOPLE STILL DEFEND ANIMAL TESTING.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH SAID COMPUTATIONAL MODELS AND ORGANOIDS ARE STILL, QUOTE, NOT CAPABLE OF FULLY REPLICATING THE INTRICACIES OF LIVING SYSTEMS.

THOMAS FUDGE, KPBS FUSE.

>> .

>>> THE NEXT TIME YOU'RE WALKING IN THE COUNTY YOU MAY WANT TO WATCH WHERE YOU STEP.

THEY'VE LEFT THEIR MARKS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO SEE.

AS KEN CRAMER TELL US THOSE SIDEWALK STAMPS CAN TELL US A LOT ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>> DO YOU SEE THEM ESPECIALLY ON OLDER SIDEWALKS?

THEY TELL YOU WHO POURED THE CONCRETE AND SOMETIMES THE YEAR.

WE PUT THE QUESTION ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE.

SHOW US, WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE GOT DOZENS OF PICTURES AND STORIES, BILL HILL FOUND THIS IN LITTLE ITALY WHERE JOSEPH KELLEY SET THE CEMENT IN 1904.

ONE OF THE LETTERS GOT SIDEWAYS, BUT IT SAYS 1964 5th WHERE MR. KELLEY HAD HIS OFFICE IN THE EXCITING NEW GRANGER BUILDING STILL THERE TODAY.

IN POINT LOAM A WALTER TREPTE, WHAT A NAME, WAS A MAJOR FIGURE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SAN DIEGO AND SOME OF THE MOST EXQUISITE BUILDINGS FROM BALBOA PARK AND BEYOND.

HIS DAD WAS THE CARPENTER WHO IS SAID TO HAVE WORKED ON THE CROWN ROOM AT THE HOTEL DEL BUILT, BY THE WAY, WITHOUT USING A SINGLE NAIL.

SAMANTHA CABOT FOUND THIS ON THE CORNER OF APRIL AND THE STAMP SAYS GRIFFETH COMPANY.

GRIFFETH WAS AND STILL IS A LARGE CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBLE FOR STREETS, HIGHWAYS AND AIRPORT RUNWAYS UP AND DOWN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

THEIR NAME SHOWS UP ON SIDEWALKS ALL AROUND THE CITY.

>> SUE FOUND THIS ONE ON C STREET BETWEEN 27th AND 28th AND ALSO ONE FROM OLIE SWARSTAD THAT LIVED IN GOLDEN HILL.

>> IN NORTH PARK, ELAINE FOUND HARD EVIDENCE THAT FCHL W. JACK HAD A BUSY DAY IN SEPTEMBER 1923.

SUSAN HUNT WILLIAMS SPOTTED THIS IN SHERMAN HEIGHTS AND ANOTHER ONE FROM WHAT I GUESS WAS NOVEMBER OF 1910, BUT WHO OR WHAT WAS OTTO?

BROOKS WILSON SENT THIS, CONTRACTOR C.B.

SAUNDERS.

HE LOOKED LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE TRIED TO WRITE IT IN BY HAND.

DOES IT SAY 1955, MAYBE?

CAN'T FORGET LOCAL CONTRACTOR MR.

MIRACLE WHO LIVED IN OCEANSIDE AND HAD SUCH A UNIQUE AND CURIOUS NAME HE EARNED A MENTION IN RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

SEAN SHAW SAW THIS IN GOLDEN MILL, BUT WHERE THE FOLSOM BROTHERS MADE AN IMPRESSION AND WHERE THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT WAS PACIFIC BEACH.

IN LA JOLLA, DAVID TRUITT WHERE THEY WERE IN 1912.

ROMAN NUMERALS OF SEPTEMBER 1912 AND ERIC HANSON -- OOPS, THIS WAS PROBABLY MEANT TO BE 1912 OR WAS IT 1921?

ON KETTNER AT JUNIPER WAS ONCE THE SAN DIEGO MACARONI FACTORY, HEAD OF FIRST-CLASS MACK RHONY AND A CLASSIC SIDEWALK STAMP.

THANK YOU, BETH.

AND FROM STEPHEN MARQUEZ IN MISSISSIPPI AND POLK, DECEMBER 1926 THE CONTRACTOR LEFT HIS SIGNATURE AND SO DID A PASSING DOG.

FOREVER IMMORTALIZED CONCRETELY IN OUR HISTORY ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

WOE!

LOOK AT FUTURE RAINFALL HERE AND YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF PRECIPITATION MAKING ITS WAY CLOSER TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN AND AROUND SAN DIEGO AS WE HEAD INTO THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.
