>>> TARIFFS THAT ARE IN PLACE AND OTHERS THAT MAY COME ARE HAVING EFFECTS ON THE ECONOMY INCLUDING INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL.

EARLIER THIS WEEK TOURISM OFFICIALS SAID THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN A SHARP YEAR-OVER- YEAR DECLINE IN NONRESIDENT ARRIVALS IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH.

JOHN CARROLL IS LIVE AT SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WITH NEWS OF NEW INTERNATIONAL SERVICE AT THE AIRPORT.

>> Reporter: TODAY, DUTCH AIRLINES BECAME THE LATEST CARRIER TO OFFER SERVICE TO SAN DIEGO.

THEY HAVE BEGUN SERVICE BETWEEN HERE AND AMSTERDAM AND WILL FLY THAT THREE DAYS A WEEK.

AIRPORT OFFICIALS SAY IT IS A STRONG SIGN THAT SAN DIEGO IS VERY ATTRACTIVE TO INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES.

A KPBS VIEWER HAPPEN TO BE AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME TO CATCH THE INAUGURAL FLIGHT INTO SAN DIEGO, THE BOEING 787 DREAM LINER WILL OFFER SERVICE ON TUESDAYS, THURSDAYS AND SUNDAYS.

THE OCCASION MARKED BY A CELEBRATION OUTSIDE OF THE KLM GAIT.

>> BR -- WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO OFFER SAN DIEGO ANOTHER FLIGHT OPTION TO EUROPE.

>> THE PRESIDENT AND CEO SAYS GETTING KLM HERE HAS BEEN A YEARS LONG PROCESS.

SHE IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE TRAVEL STATISTICS WHEN IT COMES TO SAN DIEGO.

>> THERE IS A LOT OF BUSINESS CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THERE AND SAN DIEGO.

AND THAT WILL REALLY HELP SUPPORT THE FLIGHT AND OF COURSE TOURISM.

WE'VE GOT TWO BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS THAT PEOPLE ENJOY GOING TO.

>> WE'VE SEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A DECLINE TO THE U.S.

BUT A BIGGER INCREASE FROM THE U.S. TO EUROPE.

>> KLM JOINT BRITISH AIRWAYS AND OTHERS AS THE FIFTH SERVING SAN DIEGO.

THE REGION IS ATTRACTIVE TO FOREIGN AIRLINES.

>> WITH ALL THE DIRECT FLIGHTS WE HAVE TO INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS, IT REALLY OPENS UP THE WORLD TO SAN DIEGO AND SAN DIEGO TO THE WORLD.

WITH THAT CONNECTIVITY WE CAN REACH JUST ABOUT ANY PART OF THE WORLD FOR THE FLIGHTS WE HAVE OR ARE ABOUT TO RECEIVE.

>> KLM IS THE OLDEST AIRLINE IN THE WORLD AND HAS BEEN FLYING FOR THE LAST 105 YEARS.

BOOKINGS ARE STRONG FOR SAN DIEGO AND HE SAYS THE AIRLINE MAY VERY WELL EXPAND SERVICE IF THAT REMAINS THE CASE.

WHEN AIRPORT OFFICIALS SAY -- SEE HOW ATTRACTIVE SAN DIEGO IS TO INTERNATIONAL CARRIERS, IT IS MORE THAN SPIN.

COPING AIRLINES WILL BEGIN SERVICE BETWEEN HERE AND PANAMA CITY.

THAT WILL BE THE FIRST AIRLINE TO OFFER SERVICE TO POINTS SOUTH OF MEXICO.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>> THAT IS ALL REALLY EXCITING, BUT TODAY IS DAY NUMBER TWO OF REAL I.D.S BEING REQUIRED TO FLY.

CAN YOU GIVE US AN IDEA OF HOW LINES HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO YOU.

>> Reporter: I KNOW YOU'VE FLOWN IN AND OUT OF THIS AIRPORT MANY TIMES, AND I HAVE, AND I WAS LOOKING AROUND WHEN WE WENT TO THE TSA CHECKPOINT AND I COULD NOT SEE ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL.

EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE GOING QUITE SMOOTHLY, MAIA.

>> WEATHER HEADLINES AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

TRACKING WARM AND BREEZY CONDITIONS FOR FRIDAY.

THEN GET READY FOR SOME GREAT WEATHER FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

ALSO TRACKING OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN.

A LOOK AT THAT EXTENDED FORECAST, COMING UP.

>>> KAISER PERMANENTE MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS HAVE VOTED TO RATIFY A NEW FOUR YEAR CONTRACT ENDING WHAT THE UNION IS CALLING THE LONGEST MENTAL HEALTH STRIKE IN U.S. HISTORY.

HEIDI DeMARCO SAYS THAT DEAL INCLUDES GAINS FOR PATIENTS AND WORKERS.

>> AFTER NEARLY SEVEN MONTHS ON STRIKE, ABOUT 300 KAISER PERMANENTE MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS IN SAN DIEGO ARE RETURNING TO WORK THIS WEEK UNDER A NEW FOUR YEAR CONTRACT.

IT WAS RATIFIED FOLLOWING EXTENSIVE NEGOTIATIONS.

A HUNGER STRIKE AND INTERVENTION BY GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM WHO URGED BOTH PARTIES TO ENGAGE IN A NEGOTIATION.

THE STRIKE BROUGHT MAJOR CHANGES FOR PATIENT CARE.

>> IT TOOK FIVE HOURS A WEEK TO TAKE CARE OF MANY ISSUES THAT PATIENTS NEED OUTSIDE OF THERAPY.

BUT TODAY, FOLKS ARE GUARANTEED NO TIME.

>> IT ALSO INCLUDES 20% RAISES OVER FOUR YEARS AND A DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN AND A $2500 AT VACATION BONUS.

BUT KAISER STILL PAYS CLINICIANS UP TO 50% LESS THAN OTHER MEDICAL STAFF WITH SIMILAR TRAINING.

>> WE ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH SOME STEPS TO BRIDGE THAT GAP.

BUT WE ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL.

SO WE ARE TAKING ANOTHER SHOT AT IT WITH LEGISLATURE.

>> THEY SAY IT ONLY ADDED TO GROWING FRUSTRATIONS.

>> WE ARE READING A TWO PAGE LETTER THAT KAISER SENT INSTEAD OF COMING TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS OF THESE LEGISLATURES.

>> THIS MEANS THIS TO ME.

>> FROM THE KAISER PRESIDENT, IT CAME AT AN EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL COST.

>> IT HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT LONG SIX MONTHS, DIFFICULT FOR US AND OUR PATIENTS.

BUT WE FELT THAT WE HAD TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE.

>> KAISER PATIENT CHRISTINA GRIFFIN JONES SAYS THAT SHE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO CONNECTING WITH HER REGULAR THERAPIST ON THEIR NEXT APPOINTMENT.

>> THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE CONTRACTED IN PLACE OF THE WORKERS WHO WERE ON STRIKE, THEY WERE STRANGERS.

AND IN THE END, HAVING TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH, HOW YOU'RE FEELING.

>> KAISER SAYS IT LOOKS FORWARD TO WELCOMING THE MENTAL HEALTH TEAMS BACK TO WORK.

UNION LEADERS SAY THEY WILL KEEP PUSHING LEGISLATION AIMED AT HOLDING KAISER ACCOUNTABLE AND CLOSING THE PAY GAP BETWEEN MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTHCARE.

>>> ARE SAN DIEGO AND ABLE TO MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS?

A COALITION OF NONPROFITS TRIED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION AND THE SAN DIEGO HOUSING FEDERATION AND PARTNERS ANNOUNCED THEIR FINDINGS AT A CONFERENCE TODAY.

THEY FOCUSED ON FOUR ESSENTIAL NEEDS, HOUSING, CHILDCARE, HOMELESSNESS AND FOOD INSECURITY.

DATA SHOWS THAT THE AVERAGE MONTHLY RENT INCREASE BY $100 FROM LAST YEAR TO $2571, ABOUT THREE TIMES MORE THAN THE MINIMUM WAGE.

>> THE COST OF LIVING CRISIS IN SAN DIEGO HAS BEEN A SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW IF THEY WILL BE ABLE TO STAY HERE.

WE NEED TO BE CLEAR ABOUT SOMETHING, SAN DIEGO DOES NOT HAVE A FUTURE IF SAN DIEGO AND STILL HAVE A FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES HERE.

THAT MEANS RAISING MINIMUM WAGE TO $25 AND MAKING SURE FOLKS CAN BENEFIT AND PROFIT OFF OF SAN DIEGO AND PAY THEIR SHARE.

>> IT TAKES ABOUT $50 AN HOUR TO LIVE COMFORTABLY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

THE FULL REPORT IS AVAILABLE ONLINE ON THE HOUSING FEDERATION'S WEBSITE.

WITH THE ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY WITH THE SWEEPING TARIFF POLICIES, THE FEDERAL RESERVE DECLINED TO CHANGE ITS KEY LENDING RATES.

AND THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING.

BRIAN ABEL BREAKS DOWN HOW YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK FOR YOUR MONEY.

>> AT THE TIME BEING WE ARE WELL-POSITIONED TO WAIT FOR GREATER CLARITY.

>> JEROME POWELL ON WEDNESDAY, KEEPING THE FEDS BENCHMARK LENDING RATE RATE WHERE IT IS.

>> IF THE LARGE INCREASE IN TARIFFS THAT HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED ARE SUSTAINED, ARE LIKELY TO GENERATE A RISE IN INFLATION, A SLOWDOWN IN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND AN INCREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT.

>> WITH SO MUCH CONFUSION OVER WHAT COMES NEXT, NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE.

BANK RATES GREG McBRIDE RECOMMENDS STASHING YOUR CASH IN HIGH YIELD SAVINGS ACCOUNTS.

>> MANY ARE AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE WITH NO OR MINIMUM DEPOSIT.

YIELDS ARE ABOVE 4%.

>> GETTING IT THAT 4+ PERCENT NOW INSTEAD OF THE .1% OFFERED BY MOST BANKS IS CRUCIAL.

McBRIDE SAYS FOR LONG-TERM, YOU CAN TAKE BIT MORE RISK.

>> FOR THOSE NEAR-TERM GOALS, IT CANNOT BE IN STOCKS, IT HAS TO BE IN SAFE AND SECURE INVESTMENTS.

>> THIS MAY BE SURPRISING TO SOME, BUT RESEARCH IS SHOWING THAT AMERICANS ARE DRINKING LESS WINE.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THAT MEANS FOR SAN DIEGO'S WINE INDUSTRY.

>> THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF GROWTH AVAILABLE.

>> MIKE EFFENBERGER OWNS THIS WINERY IN ESCONDIDO AND PRODUCES ABOUT 1200 BOTTLES A YEAR.

>> PEOPLE END UP GETTING A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A CURATED EXPERIENCE.

>> DESPITE THE SOFTENING SALES LAST YEAR, HE SAYS THAT THERE IS ROOM TO GROW.

>> PEOPLE ARE FINALLY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS GOOD WINE MADE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

AND AS THAT CONTINUES I THINK WE WILL HAVE MORE PEOPLE LOOKING AT VINEYARDS THAT ARE LOCAL TO GO TO AND ENJOY AN AFTERNOON AND A GLASS ONE.

>> LAST YEAR VOCAL WINERIES GENERATED NEARLY $52 MILLION IN GROSS SALES.

SALES ARE MORE THAN DOUBLED THAN WHAT THEY WERE IN 2016, THE FIRST YEAR THE DATA WAS AVAILABLE.

>> THERE WAS A LOT OF DOOM AND GLOOM AND NASTY NUMBERS COMING FROM YOUR BEST BAR AS THE WINE INDUSTRY BEING DOWN.

>> EVEN WITH SOFTENING SALES, MORE PEOPLE ARE ENTERING THE INDUSTRY AND MORE WINERIES ARE GROWING HERE.

ACCORDING TO AN INDUSTRY RESEARCH GROUP, OVERALL ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION FELL BY NEARLY 3% WITH WEINSTEIN THE BIGGEST DROP AT 4% >> THE BABY BOOMER GENERATION WHICH WERE GREAT CONSUMERS OF WINE, THEY ARE AGING OUT OF THE CATEGORY.

IN THE GEN Z TYPE FOLKS ARE NOT REALLY WINE DRINKERS YET.

>> AND WITH THE ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY, MORE PEOPLE ARE CUTTING BACK ON DISCRETIONARY SPENDING.

>> AS LONG AS THIS TARIFF MARKET SITUATION CALMS DOWN, I THINK WE WILL BE SET UP FOR A GOOD COUPLE OF YEARS.

>> WEBER SAYS 2025 WILL BE A GOOD WINE DRINKING YEAR.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWSHOUR, WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE FIRST AMERICAN POPE.

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

>>> AFTER TWO DAYS OF VOTING IN THE CONCLAVE THE FIRST AMERICAN POPE HAS BEEN ELECTED.

A NEW POPE WILL BE KNOWN AS POPE LEO XIV.

>> THE FIRST EVER AMERICAN ELECTED AS THE 267th POPE.

A PLUME OF WHITE SMOKE RISING ABOVE THE 16th CHAPEL.

HE SIGNALED THAT 133 BOATING CARDINALS HAVE ELECTED THE NEW PONTIFF.

THE BELLS OF ST. PETER'S BASILICA WELCOMING THE NEWS, NEWS THAT THOUSAND AT ST. PETER'S SQUARE, VATICAN CITY AND AROUND THE WORLD HAVE BEEN ANTICIPATING DURING THE TWO DAYS OF THE CONCLAVE.

>> THERE IS SO MUCH HOPE, IT IS EXCITING.

>> WE ARE SO HAPPY TO BE HERE.

>> POPE LEO XIV MAKING HIS DEBUT TO THE CATHOLICS.

REPORTING FROM ROOM -- ROME.

>> THE SAN DIEGO YOUTH SERVICES IS CYCLING DOWN CALIFORNIA AND INTO RETIREMENT.

HE IS CALLING IT ONE MORE ADVENTURE TO RAISE MONEY FOR SAN DIEGO'S LARGEST PROVIDER OF HOMELESS YOUTH SERVICES.

WALTER PHILLIPS IS 66 YEARS OLD.

PREPARING TO CYCLE 100 MILES A DAY FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO SAN DIEGO.

>> THE RIDES I USED TO DO AS A YOUNG MAN, I DON'T REALLY FOCUS ON THAT, IT PALES TO COMPARISON TO WHAT THE YOUNG PERSON BASES ON THE STREETS EVERY NIGHT WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY WILL GET THEIR NEXT MEAL OR WILL -- WHERE WILL THEY GO.

>> WITH THE LAST 25 YEARS HE'S BEEN WITH THE SAN DIEGO YOUTH SERVICES.

>> HOMELESSNESS WAS INVISIBLE.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE KIDS THAT DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO STAY.

>> HE SAYS THERE IS MORE AWARENESS NOW, BUT STILL, POSTED 2000 YOUNG SAN DIEGO DON'T HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT.

PHILLIPS RETIRES AT THE END OF JUNE.

>> I HONESTLY HOPE THAT THEY DON'T REMEMBER ME.

BECAUSE WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE SURE IS FOCUSED ON IS THE MISSION.

>>'S WEEKLONG RIDE KICKS OFF ON SATURDAY.

>>> IN ONE SAN DIEGO NEIGHBORHOOD, A SET OF SECRET STAIRS WAS A PLACE FOR GATHERING UNTIL LAST YEAR'S FLOODS LEFT THE STAIRS IN DISREPAIR.

AFTER MONTHS OF WAITING FOR HELP, NEIGHBORS GOT A CLEANUP ORGANIZED AFTER THE FLOOD IMPACT STILL REMAINS.

>> IN A POCKET OF SOUTHIE SAN DIEGO LIES A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD AND NESTLED WITHIN IS SOMETHING MANY MAY MISS, THE SECRET STAIRS.

ACCORDING TO NEIGHBORS, IT BEGAN DECADES AGO AS A DIRT TRAIL.

BUT IT BECAME A SYMBOL OF YOUNG LOVE.

IN A STORY, MAN WALKED ALONG THE TRAIL EVERY DAY AFTER WORK, PICKING POPPIES FOR HIS WIFE.

EVENTUALLY STAIRS WERE BUILT TO BE KNOWN AS THE VALENCIA PARK SECRET STAIRS.

>> SOMETIMES I WOULD TAKE THIS RAIL AND SHOOT UP THIS WAY.

>> HE IS HEAD OF A COMMUNITY NONPROFIT THAT LAUNCHED A BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT OF THE STAIRS IN 2022.

>> JUST LOOKED AND SAID, THIS WOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THIS IF WE WERE IN LA JOLLA.

>> HE GATHERED A TEAM OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT PAINTED A MURAL.

HE SAID IT WAS A POWERFUL WAY TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER.

>> IT WAS A COMMUNITY BUILDING EFFORT.

>> HE SOON DISCOVERED THAT STAIRS AND MADE THEM A CHERISHED FEATURE OF HIS WALKS.

NEIGHBORS SAY A RIVER OF RAIN RAN THROUGH THEIR BACKYARDS AND STREET DRAINS CLOGGED UP.

THE FORCE OF THE WATER CAUSED FENCES TO COLLAPSE AND THEY MUST LIKE TO FLOW INTO THE STAIRWAY.

>> I DROVE TO WORK THE NEXT DAY AND IT WAS JUST LIKE DESTRUCTION.

IT WASN'T JUST A LITTLE FLOODING.

THE FENCES WERE FALLING OVER.

THERE WAS DEBRIS EVERYWHERE.

>> AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD SLOWLY RECOVERED FROM THE FLOOD, TAYLOR AND OTHERS GREW INCREASINGLY DISHEARTENED IN THE LACK OF EFFORT ON THE CITY'S PART TO REPAIR THE STAIRS.

>> THAT MADE ME FRUSTRATED.

HERE I AM IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS HISTORICALLY BLACK AND HAS BEEN UNATTENDED TO, THIS COMMUNITY'S NEEDS ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED.

IT MAY COMMUNITY MEMBERS COMPLAINED TO THE COUNCILMEN THAT REPRESENTS VALENCIA PARK.

HE SAID THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STAIRS MAINTENANCE RELIES ON MAYOR TODD.

THEY DETERMINED THAT BECAUSE THE DEBRIS CAME FROM PROPERTY ALONG THE STAIRS, IT WAS THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CLEANUP.

RESIDENTS AND OTHERS DISPUTE THIS.

IN LATE APRIL, LOCAL LEADERS RALLIED NEIGHBORS TO USE EARTH DAY AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAR DEBRIS.

PROPERTY OWNERS REACHED OUT TO FEMA FOR HELP.

TINA SPENCE COLLAPSED DURING THE FLOOD.

SHE REACHED OUT TO FEMA BUT HER CLAIM WAS DENIED.

>> I WENT TO THE CITY AND SAID THAT THE ONLY REASON THIS HAPPENED WAS BECAUSE THE STORM DRAIN WAS CLOGGED.

THAT WAS APRIL OF LAST YEAR.

A YEAR LATER, I JUST HEARD BACK THAT THEY DENIED THE CLAIM WITH NO EXPLANATION.

THE QUOTES I GOT WERE UPWARDS OF $150,000.

OBVIOUSLY WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT, SO WE NEED HELP TO DO THAT.

ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT OUR FAULT.

>> THEY SAY THE STAIRS ARE A CAUTIONARY TALE THAT SPEAKS TO THE LACK OF MAINTENANCE IN THE AREA.

>> I FEEL LIKE IT MAKES OUR NEIGHBORHOOD LOOK WORSE THAN IT IS.

>> THANKS TO THE COMMUNITY'S HARD WORK, THE SECRET STAIRS ARE BACK FOR NOW AND GOING FORWARD IT WILL CONTINUE TO DEPEND ON THE KINDNESS OF NEIGHBORS.

>> AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT WE WILL BE TRACKING LOW CLOUDS AND CLEARING SKIES AS THE SUN COMES UP TOMORROW.

UPPER 50s, SO MILD ACROSS THE AREA.

57 FOR OCEANSIDE TONIGHT.

40s ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND 60s AS WELL.

OVERALL TEMPERATURE WISE IT WILL BE A NICE START FOR FRIDAY.

THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON FRIDAY, WHATEVER CLOUD COVERAGE WE HAVE WILL QUICKLY GO AWAY BY ABOUT 9:00 A.M. WE WILL SEE NOTHING BUT SUNSHINE ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

THOSE SUNNY SKIES WILL STICK AROUND INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

5:00 FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SOME AREAS, NOT EVEN A CLOUD IN THE SKY.

TRACKING SOME PRETTY GOOD SHOWERS ACROSS PARTS OF THE ROCKIES AND EVEN SOME MOUNTAIN SNOW WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

BUT OVERALL, LOTS OF SUNSHINE IN THE FORECAST SHAPING UP FOR US.

THE OVERALL SETUP WILL BE WARM AND DRY ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF THE WEST COAST, ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

SOME AREAS ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA ARE WITHIN RANGE OF RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

WE WILL EVEN SEE SOME TRIPLE DIGITS ACROSS PARTS OF THE DESERT.

A MIX OF 70s ACROSS THE COAST, 80s AND 90s ALONG THE INTERIOR.

THE WARM AIR WILL STICK AROUND AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY.

THE FIVE-DAY FORECAST, LOTS OF SUNSHINE INTO THE WEEKEND.

THE RAIN MOVES INTO THE FORECAST ON TUESDAY.

INLAND, WE WILL SEE 90s ON SATURDAY AND THEN TEMPERATURES START TO TRAIL OFF IN THE EARLY PARTS OF NEXT WEEK.

MOUNTAIN FORECAST, 70s ON SATURDAY THEN TEMPERATURES TRAIL OFF AS WELL.

ON MONDAY, A COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH DROPPING HIGHS FROM THE HUNDREDS TO THE 80s.

>>> IT'S BEEN 110 YEARS IN SAN DIEGO THROUGH ONE OF THE BIGGEST PARTIES IN ITS HISTORY.

BALBOA PARK WAS SITE OF THE EXPOSITION OF THE WORLD'S FAIR THAT DREW MORE THAN 4 MILLION PEOPLE TO SEE BUILDINGS, EXHIBITS IN THE NEARBY ZOO.

KIM KRAMER FOUND A PARK HISTORIAN WHO SHARED SOME OF THAT HISTORY ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>> SAN DIEGO WANTED TO SHOW OFF ITS PARK IN 1915.

AFTER ALL, PEOPLE WERE COMING A LONG WAY TO SEE THIS.

>> WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR YOU WANT TO BE TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER PLACE, A MAGICAL PLACE, A ROMANTIC PLACE.

>> BALBOA PARK RANGER SAYS LOOK AT BOOKS WRITTEN ON THE EVENT.

JUST SICK -- THINK BACK TO WHEN ALL OF THIS WAS NEW.

HERE IS A CENTURY-OLD BOOK ON THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION.

>> YOU CAN GO THERE NOW AND RECOGNIZE THE BUILDING YOU ARE LOOKING AT.

THESE ARE JUST BEAUTIFUL, DETAILED PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE BYGONE AGE.

>> IT'S THAT THEN AND NOW THAT FASCINATES HIM.

HERE IS A PICTURE LOOKING SOUTHWEST FROM THE PAVILION.

YOU CAN SEE ALL THE WAY TO POINT LOMA.

TODAY, THERE IS TREES THAT DID NOT USED TO BE THERE.

UNTIL THEY WERE BROUGHT IN FOR THE EXPOSITION, THERE WEREN'T GARDENS AND GREAT VARIETIES OF TREES AT BALBOA PARK.

KIM HAS THE ORIGINAL LENDER -- LEDGER FROM A CENTURY AGO TO SAY WHEN AND WHERE EVERY PLANT WAS BOUGHT.

>> IT GOES ON AND ON THROUGH THE YEARS.

>> EVERY SINGLE TREE IS NOTED IN LONGHAND, AND SOMETHING EVEN MORE AMAZING -- >> ONE OF MY FAVORITE, THERE IS A HAND TYPED AND A HANDWRITTEN PIECE THAT DATES WAY BACK TO THE VERY BIRTH OF THE SAN DIEGO ZOO.

>> AN INVENTORY OF ALL THE ZOO'S CREATURES, BIG AND SMALL BACK THEN.

>> ONE LARGE ELKS, NINE DEER, TWO GOATS, ONE ALLIGATOR, TWO BUFFALO.

>> ASSORTED TEARS, COURSES AND ONE PORCUPINE.

THE ORIGINAL CONSENSUS OF WHAT WOULD BECOME THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS ZOO.

IT'S EASY TO TAKE ALL THAT'S IN BALBOA PARK FOR GRANTED TODAY TO IMAGINE THAT THE BUILDINGS, THE GARDENS AND THE ZOO MUST HAVE ALWAYS JUST BEEN HERE, SOMEHOW.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE BOOKS AND DOCUMENTS SUCH A VALUABLE REMINDER.

1915 WAS TRANSFORMATIVE FOR THE PARK, THE CITY AND SO MUCH HISTORY ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>> IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF THE STORIES ABOUT SAN DIEGO YOU CAN WATCH TONIGHT AND EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT AT 8:00 RIGHT HERE ON KPBS.

HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON FOR TOMORROW.

IN THE MORNING EDITION, PRESIDENT TRUMP RECENTLY IMPOSED A 145% TAX ON PRODUCTS FROM CHINA, BUT WHAT COUNTS AS CHINESE PRODUCTS?

WE DIVE INTO WHAT MADE IN CHINA LABELS REALLY MEAN.

AND PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TARIFFS HAVE A BROAD IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY HERE AND ABROAD BUT ONE LOCAL INDUSTRY IS FARING WELL AND THAT IS FARMING.

WE WILL HAVE MORE ON THAT ON ROUNDTABLE.
