THANK YOU.

>>> TODAY IS ONE OF THE BUSIEST TRAVEL DAYS OF THE YEAR AT SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I AM MAYA TRABULSI.

WE FIND OUT WHAT THE AIRPORT LOOKS LIKE AHEAD OF THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY.

TRUCK WE CAUGHT UP WITH BREANNA FLOREZ AND HER DOG OPAL AS THEY WERE GETTING READY TO HEAD TO TEXAS FOR THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AND SHE TOLD US SO FAR SO GOOD.

>> FOR IT BEING A WEEKEND CLOSE TO THANKSGIVING, I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD.

>> Reporter: HER HUSBAND WAS PARKING THE CAR AND THAT IS ONE THING THAT IS TRICKY IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE A RESERVATION BECAUSE AIRPORT PARKING WAS AT CAPACITY TODAY BUT THE AIRPORT, SHE SAYS, THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO GET HERE.

>> WE HAVE A FREE SHUTTLE FROM THE OLD TOWNE TRANSIT CENTER OR THERE IS RIDESHARE OR HAVE A FRIEND DROP YOU OFF.

TOOK THINGS HAVE CHANGED IF YOU HAVEN'T DRIVEN TO THE AIRPORT IN A WHILE.

THEY HAD THIS ADVICE FOR THE NEW ENTRANCE INTO TERMINAL 1.

>> GET INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND ANTICIPATE AN EXIT COMING UP SOONER AND WATCH FOR DIRECTIONAL SIGNS AND KNOW THERE COULD BE SLOW MOVING CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES THAT COULD SLOW DOWN YOUR TRAFFIC.

TOOK THINGS WILL BE BUSY AND LINES HAVE BEEN FORMING EVERYWHERE AT THE AIRPORT AND AT DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL AREAS AND AIRLINE CHECK-IN COUNTERS AND OF COURSE AT TSA SECURITY.

>> WE ANTICIPATE SEEING 84,000 PEOPLE COMING THROUGH THE AIRPORT EVERY DAY.

>> Reporter: THE AUTO CLUB HAS THESE TIPS.

>> MAKE SURE YOU ARRIVE A FEW HOURS BEFORE IF IT IS A DOMESTIC FLIGHT AND THREE HOURS IF IT IS AN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT AND MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE AIRLINES APP AND HAVE NOTIFICATIONS AND YOU ARE GETTING THEM SO IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES TO YOUR FLIGHT, YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE TO FIND OUT.

>> PACK YOUR PATIENCE AND ANTICIPATE THAT THERE WILL BE OTHER PEOPLE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING YOU ARE DOING.

>> Reporter: SHE SAID TRAVELING WITH HER DOG MEANS MORE THAN PACKING HER PATIENTS.

>> GETTING HER USED TO HER CRATE SO MAKING SURE WE PRACTICE GETTING HER IN THERE AND LEAVING HER IN THEIR SINCE WE KNOW SHE HAS TO STAY IN THERE THE ENTIRE FLIGHT AND I MAKE SURE I PROVIDE HER WITH BLANKETS OR TOYS SHE IS USED TO PLAYING WITH HIS SO SHE HAS FAMILIAR SENSE.

TRUCK THE NEXT STOP IS THE SMELL OF TURKEY AND PUMPKIN PIE.

>>> IS TRAVELERS BUSTLE THROUGH THE AIRPORT, THEY COULD LOOK UP AND SEE SOME ART AND WE TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE PIECES THAT YOU COULD FIND THERE.

>>> THE NUMBER OF FLIGHT DELAYS HAS CLIMBED STEADILY IS HEAVY WIND AND RAIN HAS SWEPT THROUGH THE NORTHEAST AND TO THOSE WITH LATE FLIGHTS, SLEET AND SNOW COULD SMELL YOUR PLANS.

WE ARE HAVING MORE ON HOW THIS IS SHAPING UP.

>> I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS SO I AM THREE HOURS IN ADVANCE.

>> I GOT HERE EARLY BECAUSE I AM SLOW.

>> IT IS CRAZY BUT IT COULD BE WORSE.

>> Reporter: INDEED GIVEN THE WIND AND STORMS HANGING OVER SEVERAL HUBS WEDNESDAY ALL WHILE MORE THAN 55 MILLION PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO BE ON THE MOVE BY AIR AND HIGHWAY FOR THE SAFE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY.

IN NEW ENGLAND FORECASTERS SAY SNOWFALL WILL WIND DOWN BUT NOT BEFORE SOME INLAND AREAS POSSIBLY SEVERAL INCHES AND A NEW STORM PUSHING IN OF THE ROCKIES WILL DUMP SNOW OVER SEVERAL STATES LIKE MONTANA, WYOMING AND IDAHO WHERE WINTER ALERTS COULD TRANSLATE INTO DELAYS FOR WEST COAST TRAVELERS.

>> THE WEATHER ALWAYS IS THE KEY AND THEN THERE IS AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER SHORTAGES BUT THE WEATHER WILL BE THE KEY AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE FAA TO ADJUST ROUTES AND MOVE THINGS AROUND.

>> Reporter: FOR THE RIDE HOME, THEY ESTIMATE NEARLY 3 MILLION PEOPLE COULD COME THROUGH THEIR LINES ON SUNDAY AND IT IS THE HIGHEST NUMBER EVER RECORDED IN THE 20 YEAR HISTORY THE AGENCY SAID AND YOUR BEST BET IS TO GO EARLY AND GET THROUGH SECURITY AND RELAX.

>> I AM JUST CHILLING OUT.

>>> THE OCEAN BEACH PIER WILL STAY CLOSED FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS ACCORDING TO CITY OFFICIALS WHO SAY A RECENT STORM AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE DAMAGES WHAT IS BEHIND THE DECISION.

ARE REPORTER SAID SOME ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

>> I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM MAKE THE DECISION AND I WANT TO MAKE THE PEOPLE TO DO THAT AND IT IS OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS THAT ARE DOING THIS.

>> Reporter: NEWS OF THE EXTENDED CLOSURE IS NOT SITTING WELL WITH RESIDENTS.

>> I LOOK OUT OF THE WATER NOW AND I DON'T SEE ANY STORM OUT THERE OR ANYTHING HAPPENING AND IF THE WATER IS FINE AND THERE IS NO BIG SURF PEOPLE SHOULD GO OUT IN FISH AND WHAT THEY LIKE TO DO.

>> Reporter: OFFICIALS CLOSED THE PEER FOLLOWING DAMAGE AND WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE STORMS THIS WINTER THE DECISION WAS MADE TO KEEP IT CLOSED.

>> THEY MAY SEE IT AND IT LOOKS FINE BUT OUR ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN UNDERNEATH AND HAVE A SEEN THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND DETERMINE THAT AT THIS POINT IT IS BEST TO KEEP IT CLOSED.

TOOK OFFICIALS SAY IT IS COSTLY TO KEEP REPAIRING IT WHEN IT IS LIKELY MORE DAMAGE WILL COME IN PUBLIC SAFETY AS THEIR PRIORITY.

>> DEPENDING ON THINGS THIS WINTER, IF IT IS ONLY MODERATE STORM AND DAMAGE OR LIGHT TO MODERATE AND SOMETHING WE CAN HANDLE, WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET IT OPEN LATER IN THE SPRING AND IF IT RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, IT MAY NOT OPEN UNTIL LATER IN THE SUMMER.

>> Reporter: THE 57-YEAR-OLD.

IS A MAJOR ATTRACTION AND SOMETHING THAT LOCAL BUSINESS GROUPS BRINGS A LOT OF PEOPLE TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> I AM SAD ABOUT IT AND IT DOES AFFECT US HERE, EVERY BUSINESS HERE.

AND IT DOES CUT DOWN ON THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE COMING DOWN TO SHOP.

>> Reporter: THE MAIN STREET ASSOCIATION WANTS TO SEE A TEMPORARY FIX, WHETHER IT IS INSTALLING FENCING OR OTHER REPAIRS.

>> WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A POT OF MONEY THAT WE CAN USE OR THE CITY CAN USE TO KEEP IT OPEN.

>> CITY OFFICIALS SAID THEY HAVEN'T SPENT $1.7 MILLION FIXING IT OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS AND A 2018 STUDY FOUND THE PEER HAD REACHED THE END OF ITS SERVICE LIFE SOY TASK FORCE WAS CREATED FOR THE FUTURE WHICH THE CITY SAID LIKELY INVOLVES REPLACING THE PEER.

>> THAT IS STILL IN THE IMAGINATION PHASE.

WE ARE IN THIS IN BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE WITH CONTINUING TO PUT MONEY INTO THE CURRENT HERE AND KEEPING REPAIRS OPEN TO KEEP IT OPEN AND SOMETIMES FOR ONLY MONTHS AT A TIME.

>> Reporter: HE SITS ON THE TASK COURSE AND HE SAID FEEDBACK ABOUT FUTURE PLANS ARE WELCOME.

>> THE NEXT FEW YEARS WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR SURE AND I THINK ON BEHALF OF ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY WE JUST ASK EVERYBODY FOR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING AS THE CITY DECIDES WHAT TO DO WITH THE PEER IN THE SHORT-TERM AND LONG- TERM.

>>> THE CITY OF IMPERIAL BEACH IS A BRACING FOR ANOTHER WET WINTER.

COREY SUZUKI SAYS OFFICIALS ARE HOPING THAT RESIDENTS WILL HOPE -- USE RAIN BARRELS TO PREPARE.

>> WE WILL HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR THE RAIN BARREL GUIDELINES.

>> Reporter: THEY RECENTLY ADOPTED A NEW SET OF GUIDELINES FOR RAIN BARRELS, GENERALLY SEEN AS A WAY TO CONSERVE WATER FOR THINGS LIKE IRRIGATION BUT THE IMPERIAL BEACH SEES THEM AS A WAY TO FIGHT CHALLENGES BROUGHT ON BY THE RISE OF THE SEA LEVEL.

THE SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR HAS BEEN STUDYING THIS.

>> RISING SEA LEVELS ARE ALREADY FLOODING FROM THE INFRASTRUCTURES TO THE BASEMENTS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

>> Reporter: HE SAID SEAWATER MOVES INLAND SAYS TIDES RISE WHICH PUSHES THE FRESHWATER UNDERGROUND UPWARDS FORCING IT TO HAVE CRACKS IN THE STORM WATER PIPES AND INCREASING THE CHANCES OF FLOODING AND MORE RAIN BARRELS WILL TAKE MORE PRESSURE OFF OF THE CITY'S AGING INFRASTRUCTURE.

>> THIS DELAYS WITH THE SYSTEM NEEDS AND THEY CAN HANDLE THIS AMOUNT OF WATER.

>>> TONIGHT IS REALLY SOME PALESTINIANS REACT TO A PAUSE IN FIGHTING AND THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES AND COMING UP AFTER THE EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> IMAGINE A MUSEUM THAT EXPOSES UNIQUE CONTEMPORARY ART 50,000 VISITORS A DAY BUT IT ISN'T A MUSEUM.

IT IS THE SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

OUR ARTS PRODUCER JULIA DIXON EVANS TAKES A CLOSER LOOK AT THE UNEXPECTED PUBLIC ART THAT TRAVELERS MAY SEE.

>> Reporter: IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT VIRTUALLY NOBODY VISITS AN AIRPORT TO SEE ART, BUT IN SOME WAYS THAT IS THE POINT WITH THIS UNINTENTIONAL AND UNWITTING GLIMPSE OF ART AND CULTURE AS PART OF THE LORE OF THE AIRPORT ARTS PROGRAMS AROUND THE WORLD.

HERE IT MEANS PEOPLE ARE HYPER FOCUSED ON THE TASKS IN FRONT OF THEM LIKE GETTING THROUGH SECURITY OR CATCHING A FLIGHT.

HE IS CURATOR OF THE PROGRAM.

>> IF ALL OF THOSE INPUTS GOING INTO A PERSON'S MIND SO FINDING WAYS THAT CREATE THIS MOMENT WHERE PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WAIT.

THEY COME OUT OF THIS MAY BE SUBCONSCIOUS RHYTHM AND THEY REALLY SAY, THAT IS DIFFERENT.

>> Reporter: THE AIRPORT ARTS PROGRAM MANAGER, KATIE NORMAN, SAYS THE ART HAS TANGIBLE PURPOSES BEYOND THE AESTHETICS.

>> AIRPORTS OF ACTUALLY STARTED CREATING THESE ART PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDE PUBLIC ART LARGELY BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE A SENSE OF PLACE AND THERE ARE CERTAIN ELEMENTS TO THE COLLECTION THAT CREATE CALL MEAN BECAUSE IT COULD BE A TOUGH EXPERIENCE FOR PEOPLE TRAVELING.

>> THE ART COSTS OVER JUST OVER TWO CENTS FOR EACH PASSENGER BOARDING THE PLANE BUT IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC BENEFITS IN PATIENTS LINGER IN TERMINALS THEY SPEND MORE IN CONCESSIONS AND THE PROGRAM ALSO CREATES JOBS AND PAYS ARTISTS.

THE AIRPORT OUR PROGRAM INCLUDES TEMPORARY ART EXHIBITS PLUS PERFORMING ARTS AND OVER 50 WORKS INTEGRATED INTO THE ARCHITECTURE.

>> WE DO HAVE A ROBUST COLLECTION AND I WOULD SAY THERE ARE ABOUT 15 OTHER AIRPORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT ALSO HAVE AIRPORT PROGRAMS OF A SIMILAR CALIBER.

>> Reporter: THE TEMPORARY EXHIBIT NOW IS CALLED A NECESSARY DEPARTURE SPOTLIGHTING WHAT ARTISTS WENT THROUGH DURING THE PANDEMIC AND SOME OF THESE WORKS ARE PRE- SECURITY BUT OTHERS ARE POST SO VISITORS NEED A PLANE TICKET TO SEE THEM AND IN ONE EXAMPLE HUNDREDS OF CAPS FROM SINGLE USE PLASTICS ARE MOUNTED ON THE WALL AND SUSPENDED FROM THE CEILING LIKE TINY WORKS OF ART DRAWING ATTENTION TO THE INCREASED USE OF DISPOSABLE PRODUCTS DURING THE PANDEMIC AND AN URGENCY FOR CHANGE.

>> THE IDEA IS THAT YOU ARE USING ARE LOOKING AT THE SINGLE USE PLASTICS 10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD SEE THAT BECAUSE HE COULDN'T SEE THEM IN THE STORE ANYMORE IS BY ACTUALLY GOING TO MUSEUMS.

>> IS A GRAVITY DEFYING SCULPTURE MADE OF OLD FOLDING CHAIRS AND PUZZLE LIKE WOODEN PORTRAITS BY CHRISTOPHER LLOYD TUCKER AND COSMIC SCULPTURES AND THIS IN PERFECT BOUNDARIES IS A SERIES OF SEVEN FRAMED PIECES TUCKED AWAY IN THE AIRPORTS BE RELAXED LOUNGE AND SHAPES ARE FORMED FROM A CROWDED TANGLE OF PAINTED INKS AND SYMBOLS AND THE EDGES CREATED BY THE MANY LINES REPRESENT HUMAN AND COMMUNITY BORDERS AND BORDERS AND BOUNDARIES ARE A BIG THING FOR HIM AND HE SAID IT MEANS MORE THAT HIS WORK IS EXPERIENCED BY VIEWERS OUTSIDE OF THE TRADITIONAL BOUNDARIES.

>> WHEN I DESCRIBE IMPERFECT BOUNDARIES I USED THIS IS A METAPHOR BETWEEN TIJUANA AND SAN DIEGO BUT YOU DO HAVE AN AIRPORT GALLERY THAT IS A TRANSIENT SPACE AND A PASSAGEWAY FOR PEOPLE EVERYWHERE AND AN AIRPORT IS ESSENTIALLY EVERY LITERAL GATE TO A PLANE IS A THRESHOLD THE CROSS.

TRUCK THIS WILL BE ON VIEW UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO HOLIDAY TRAVELERS STILL HAVE TIME TO TAKE IT IN AND AN UNEXPECTED PIECE OF ART COULD GRAB THEIR ATTENTION AS THEY DODGE TO THEIR GATES.

>> THE NEXT TEMPORARY EXHIBIT WILL BE UNREVEALED NEXT YEAR.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE FROM OUR PUBLIC ART SERIES, YOU CAN VISIT KPBS.ORG.

>>> NOVEMBER IS NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH AND WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING HOW INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES ARE BOOSTING THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY.

A WHITE HOUSE TRIBAL NATION SUMMIT SCHEDULED NEXT MONTH IS SET TO DISCUSS ECONOMIC PROCESS IN AND ISSUES FACING INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES.

>> Reporter: MEMBERS OF AMERICA'S INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES ARE WORKING HARD TO PRESERVE THEIR HERITAGE AND PRODUCE ECONOMIC OUTPUT.

>> A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITIES ARE THE NUMBER ONE EMPLOYER IN A REGION.

>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE CENTER GOVERNMENTS AND THEIR ENTERPRISES SEE GREAT SUCCESS IN BUILDING SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIES ROOTED IN THEIR CULTURAL VALUES EMPLOYING THOUSANDS OF WORKERS AND GENERATING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN STATE AND REGIONAL AND FEDERAL ECONOMIES AND THE LEADERSHIP SAID THERE IS A GROWING EFFORT TO INCREASE THAT SUCCESS THROUGH INTERTRIBAL TRADE AND COLLABORATION BY CREATING NEW BUSINESSES AND GENERATING MORE JOBS.

>> THOSE TRIBES ARE SUPPORTING STATES, SUPPORTING A LOCAL ECONOMY.

MANY OF OUR TRIBES ARE INVOLVED IN TOURISM.

>> Reporter: NEXT MONTH PRESIDENT BIDEN IS SET TO HOST LEADERS FROM SOME OF THE 574 LEADERS OF FEDERAL TRIBES TO DISCUSS HOW THEY CAN STRENGTHEN NATIVE COMMUNITIES AND MEANWHILE SOME COMMUNITIES ARE PRIORITIZING CONTINUED SELF- RELIANCE AND AN EXAMPLE IS THIS CONSERVATION ALLIANCE WHICH CREATED AN INTERTRIBAL EXCHANGE APP THAT ALLOWS ANYBODY TO SHARE AND TRADE GOODS AND SERVICES IN THE DIGITAL MARKETPLACE.

>> IT EMPOWERS INDIGENOUS PEOPLE TO ADD ITEMS AND CREATE THOSE.

TRUCK THIS IS AN EFFORT LED BY NATIVE HAWAIIANS AND THEY ARE SIGNING PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP TREATIES WITH FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBES TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND AMPLIFY THEIR GOALS WORLDWIDE AND FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I AM COLE HIGGINS.

>>> FOR THOUSANDS OF SAN DIEGO'S THAT LIVE IN FINANCIALLY DISADVANTAGED AREAS, THERE IS LIMITED ACCESS TO FRESH PRODUCE.

JOHN CAROL TELLS US ABOUT A PROGRAM THAT IS CHANGING THAT ONE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER STORE AT A TIME.

>> Reporter: IT IS SOMETHING MANY OF US TAKE FOR GRANTED AND DO YOU NEED SOMETHING FROM THE GROCERY STORE?

YOU HOP IN THE CAR AND GO GET IT.

BUT FOR MANY PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO, THAT ISN'T AN OPTION AND THEY LIVE IN AREAS KNOWN AS FOOD DESERTS AND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD USED TO BE ONE BUT NOT ANYMORE.

AN IDEAL MARKET ON THE CORNER OF NATIONAL AVENUE AND 31st STREET ALONGSIDE ALL OF THE CANDY AND PROCESSED FOOD THERE IS NOW SOMETHING ELSE, FRESH FOODS AND VEGETABLES.

ON THURSDAY MORNING THE DOOR CHIME WAS SOUNDING A LOT.

>> WE TRY TO IDENTIFY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WHERE RESIDENTS HAVE LIMITED ACCESS AND WE TRY TO FIND STORES THAT WOULD BE A GREAT FIT TO CARRY FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

TRUCK SHE IS A PROFESSOR OF MARKETING AT SAN DIEGO STATE AND SHE COFOUNDED THE ORGANIZATION IN 2017 AND THEY THEN HAD FIVE STORES AND NOW THEY ARE UP TO 29 AND A TEAM OF STAFFERS AND STUDENT INTERNS MAKES THE ROUNDS EVERY WEEK TO ALL OF THE STORES.

AND IT STARTS WITH REMOVING PRODUCE THAT HAS BEEN ON THE SHELF FOR A WHILE.

>> Reporter: YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PRODUCE THAT IS PASSED ITS PRIME.

NOTHING IS WASTED AND SOME OF IT IS COMPOSTED.

WHAT IS STILL OKAY TO EAT IS DONATED TO VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> Reporter: THEN FRESH PRODUCE IS PLACED ON THE SHELF BY VOLUNTEERS LIKE DANIELLE, A GRADUATE STUDENT AND AN INTERN AT BRIGHTSIDE PRODUCE.

>> HAVING A CONNECTION WITH THE CORNER STORES AND HAVING ACCESS TO ALL OF THIS BY MAKING IT A CHEAPER PRICE WILL HELP FAMILIES TO HAVE FOOD ON THE TABLE.

>> OVER 50% OF DEATHS IN THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO ARE DUE TO CHRONIC DISEASES.

TOOK THIS PROGRAM FINANCIALLY SUPPORTS THE BRIGHT SIDE AND IT IS A GOOD INVESTMENT THEY SAY AND COMMUNITIES THAT REALLY NEED.

>> OUR COMMUNITIES OF COLOR ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD.

>> Reporter: THERE IS ANOTHER POSITIVE.

THEY SAY THEY TRY TO BUY AS MUCH FOOD AS POSSIBLE FROM LOCAL FARMERS.

>> APPARENTLY WE HAVE FOUR OR FIVE PARTNERS IN THE FARMING INDUSTRY WE DON'T ALWAYS GET CONSISTENT FOOD FROM THEM BUT WE ALWAYS TRY TO INC.

IF WE DO AND WE TRY TO HAVE IT LOCALLY GROWN.

>> Reporter: THEY SAY THE GOAL IS TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE NOBODY IN THE COUNTY WILL BE NO FURTHER THAN A 10 MINUTE WALK FROM A STORE THAT SELLS FRESH PRODUCE AND THEY ARE GETTING THERE ONE STORE AT A TIME.

>>> FOR 19 YEARS MOM'S KITCHENS HAS HAD AN ANNUAL BIG SALE AND THIS YEAR THEY HOPE TO BEAT THEIR FUNDRAISING GOALS AND STARTING THIS MORNING THE VOLUNTEERS HAVE BEEN PASSING OUT PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED PIES FROM THE PICKUP LOCATION ON EL CAJON BOULEVARD AND THEY WANTED TO RAISE $130,000 THIS YEAR TO FUND 52,000 NUTRITIOUS MEALS AT THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDING THOSE IN NEED.

>> THE MISSION IS TO PROVIDE MEDICALLY TAILORED HOME DELIVERED MEALS TO PEOPLE WITH CRITICAL ILLNESSES LIVING WITH CONDITIONS LIKE CANCER OR HEART DISEASE OR HIV OR CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE OR TYPE II DIABETES.

>> IT IS THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF HOME DELIVERED MEALS IN SAN DIEGO INCLUDING MEDICALLY TAILORED MEALS AT NO COST AND THE ORGANIZATION DELIVERED ITS 11 MILLION THE MEAL.

>>> SOME TEMPERATURE CHANGES COMING UP AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO THURSDAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND LOW CLOUDS WILL BE PERSISTENT BUT WE DO NOTICE A CHANGE COMING UP NEXT WEEK FOR SOME AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT SOME MILDER AIR FOR OTHERS.

LET'S DIVE INTO THE SHORT TERM AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT WITH THE ONSHORE FLOW AND THAT MEANS CLOUDS AROUND ESPECIALLY TOWARD SOME OF THE INTERIOR VALLEYS IN OCEANSIDE DOWN TO 47 AND 53 IN CHULA VISTA AND DOWN TO 41 IN MOUNT LAGUNA WITH FUTURECAST YOU CAN START TO SEE WHAT WILL TAKE SHAPE AND FORM DOWN THE ROAD INTO FRIDAY AND YOU NOTICE THE MOISTURE POOLING AGAIN HERE RIGHT ALONG THE SHORELINE.

THERE COULD EVEN BE SOME SPRINKLES.

I THINK WE ARE DRY HERE AGAIN AS WE WORK OUR WAY THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT TIMEFRAME AND IF YOUR TRAVELS TAKE YOU NORTH OR EAST ON THURSDAY FOR THE HOLIDAY HERE, IT WILL BE DRY AND ON THE MILD SIDE.

BUT AS I SAID, AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO FRIDAY, SOME OF THAT MOISTURE ALONG THE SHORELINE INTO SOME OF THE INTERIOR VALLEYS COULD HAVE SOME SPRINKLES THAT WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN AND WE TURN THOSE AROUND AS WE GO FROM SUNDAY INTO MONDAY WITH MORE SUNSHINE AND BLOWING A LITTLE BIT MORE OFF SHORE AND WE COULD SEE SOME GUSTY WIND NEXT WEEK.

STAY TUNED FOR THAT.

MEANWHILE, AND LINDA, WE DROP DOWN TO 66 ON FRIDAY WITH SOME SPRINKLES AND THEN ALSO MORE SUNSHINE WITH A MILDER AFTERNOON SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY AND HEADING INTO THE MOUTH OF THIS.

WE WON'T BE WARMING THINGS UP BUT INSTEAD WE WILL BE ON THE CHILLY SIDE STARTING UP THIS WEEKEND GOING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK DESPITE THERE BEING SOME SUNSHINE WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS DROPPING INTO THE 20s AND THROUGHOUT THE DESERTS IN OUR WARMEST DAY AND THEN HIGHS WILL BE SLIDING AND STAYING PUT INTO THE 60s DESPITE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

>>> FEWER SHOPPERS WILL LINE UP OUTSIDE THEIR FAVORITE STORES ON BLACK FRIDAY AND MORE WILL SHOP FROM THE COMFORT OF THEIR OWN HOME.

EVERY SEASON BRINGS MORE TRICKS TO FINDING THE BEST PRICES AND MORE SCAMS TO AVOID.

>> Reporter: THE BIG RETAIL DEALS USED TO COME ONE DAY A YEAR.

AND NOW SOME COME BEFORE.

>> THE DEALS ARE EVERYWHERE AND ONLINE AND YOU CAN DO IT ALL BEFORE YOU EAT THANKSGIVING DINNER.

>> Reporter: SHE TRACKS TRENDS AND SHE SAID SALES CONTINUE ALL SEASON BUT GETTING YOU THE HEAD START WOULD GET YOU THE BEST DEALS.

>> WE SEE THAT THIS IS WHERE THE HOTTEST SALES ARE UP UNTIL CYBER MONDAY, BUT YOU WILL START TO SEE SALES TRICKLING IN AFTERWARDS BECAUSE OF HOW COMPETITIVE RETAILERS ARE RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: TO THE RESEARCH AND MAKE A LIST AND GATHER UP COUPONS AND POINTS THAT COULD SAVE MONEY AND KEEP MULTIPLE TABS OPEN WHILE SHOPPING TO COMPARISON SHOP.

>> THE BOTTOM LINE IS DO RESEARCH AND SEE WHAT ONE RETAILER HAS.

>> MEANWHILE CONSUMERS SHOULD USE CREDIT CARDS IN CASE SUSPICIOUS CHARGES NEED TO BE CONTESTED AND IF A SELLER IS UNFAMILIAR, READ REVIEWS AND LOOK FOR LEGITIMATE CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTACTS AND SCAMS ARE POPULAR DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND THINK TWICE BEFORE CLICKING ON A LINK IN AN EMAIL OR TEXT THAT APPEARS TO BE ABOUT A DELIVERY ISSUE OR UNEXPECTED GIFT.

>>> THANKSGIVING IS A BIG WEEKEND FOR MOVIES.

OUR FILM CRITIC IS HERE TO HELP YOU SORT THROUGH THESE OFFERINGS TO FIND SOMETHING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR.

♪ >> Reporter: IN THE TWO'S -- 2007 FILM GRIND HOUSE.

IT HAS TAKEN 16 YEARS OF FOR HIM TO TURN THAT TEASER INTO A FEATURE FILM THANKSGIVING BUT IT DOES ARRIVE IS A HOLIDAY HORROR TREAT OPENING WITH A BLACK FRIDAY SALE WHERE A MOM HYPED UP ON RABID CONSUMERISM TURNS VIOLENT AND CUT TO A YEAR LATER AND A SERIAL KILLER IS COOKING UP REVENGE ON THOSE HE FINDS GUILTY OF COOKING UP THE MAYHEM.

THANKSGIVING IS THE THIRD TRAILER TO GET A SPIN OFF AND THE OTHER MACHETE AND HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN AND ALL THREE HAVE MADE THE TRANSITION TO THE BIG SCREEN WITH INSPIRED SUCCESS AND FOR THANKSGIVING HE TRADES IN THE GRUNGE OF THE TRAILERS GRIND HOUSE LOOK FOR A SLICKER STYLE BUT HE TAKES THE EVENTS AND THANKFULLY RECREATES THEM FOR THE FUTURE FILM WITH A GENUS NEW EDITION OF THE BLACK FRIDAY CARNAGE AND HE ALSO FINDS A SATIRICAL BITE MISSING FROM HIS WORK AND THAT IS SOMETHING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR.

NOW, IF WE COULD GET A MOVIE FROM THIS TRAILER, DON'T.

>> IF YOU ARE THINKING OF SEEING THIS FILM ALONE, DON'T.

>> Reporter: NOW FOR SOMETHING NOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

RIDLEY SCOTT'S BIOGRAPHY.

OF NAPOLEON AND HE HAS A FLAIR FOR VISUAL PICTURES BUT LESS SKILLED OF CONNECTING US EMOTIONALLY TO HIS CHARACTERS AND HIS FILMS START STRONG WITH NAPOLEON TURNING ACH TO THE FRENCH AND DISPLAYING RIDLEY SCOTT'S ABILITY TO DISPLAY ACTION AND THE OTHER HIGHLIGHT IS A BATTLE ON ICE THAT CAPTURES THE BRUTALITY OF WAR BUT INDIVIDUALLY STYLISH WAY.

AS THE FILM PROGRESSES THROUGH ITS NEARLY 3 HOUR RUN TIME, IT NEVER FINDS A BALANCE BETWEEN THE EPIC AND INTIMATE AND ALSO FAILS TO PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO NAPOLEON OR WHAT MADE HIM TICK AND IN FACT SCOTT AND THE PERPETUALLY SCOWLING PHOENIX GIVE US A NAPOLEON THAT IS ALMOST A CHARACTER AND DESPITE OCCASIONAL VISUAL SPECTACLE HIS NAPOLEON FAILS AT HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY AND EVEN IS AN ENTERTAINING PIECE OF CINEMA.

AND IF YOU ARE NOT INSPIRED TO CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING WITH A BORE FEST OR GORE FEST HERE IS A NEWLY RESTORED AND LUSH CLASSIC OPENING FRIDAY, FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE IN THE FILM HELPED LAUNCH WHAT BECAME KNOWN AS THE FIFTH GENERATION OF CHINESE FILMMAKERS AND SCREENED IN ITS FULL GLORY UNCUT SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A CLASSY WAY TO SPEND THE HOLIDAYS, THIS IS THE PERFECT OPTION.
