a quicker rebound. giving you a live look here from ktvu towards the san francisco. clouds are still there along the coastline this morning. temperatures running a little bit cooler. san francisco right now at 52 degrees. oakland, concord at 54. talking about bay to breakers. do expect partly sunny, partly cloudy conditions and those low 50s to remain in place for the next hour or so. by 11:00 when they're headed towards ocean beach. upper 50s with a mix of sun and clouds. so a cool one there. and that's just how they like it into the afternoon. san francisco going to 65. so right about average a few of our inland cities will be slightly above average 80 degrees for santa rosa. a better look at the entire region for today and what we can expect for the days ahead. coming up, rosemary. >> thank you. time now. 701 as we talk about bay to breakers day in san francisco, thousands of people dressing up this morning to head out to the city streets for the fun run that begins in just about an hour from now. ktvu is amanda quintana joins us now live from the starting line where the excitement is starting to build up. amanda, any fun costumes you're seeing so far?

>> a few. i saw a big pink monkey just showed up. i think behind me it's mainly volunteers right now, but we are starting to see some runners show up in some fun costumes. we do see a firefighter here. we usually see him at runs here in san francisco. i've seen him at the marathon as well, but we're going to see more and more fun costumes as the day goes on, because this is a historic run, mainly for how fun it is. it's a 12 k or a5k, and it goes through the streets of san francisco. people can run, they can walk, they can dance, they can really do whatever they want to get over that finish line. the most fun part, i think, is the costumes. i saw a couple go by that might be earth, wind and fire. i don't know, we're going to have to see once they put on all the pieces of their costume, but this feels like more of a party than a festival. the race starts here at howard and main street. it goes along hayes street, where there's the hayes hill challenge. that's a half

mile uphill, and then they have their own awards for that part of the race. then it continues through golden gate park. it ends along the great highway. so where we are here, they're getting set up because runners are released in waves. the first wave takes off at 8:00, the last at 845. that way, if you're at a different pace, you know you could stay with your wave and then some of these volunteers i just talked to, they said, you know, they stick with their wave. they're kind of there for safety to make sure no one gets hurt, anything like that. so i think the more fun costumes will be towards the back waves, because the front is more of the serious runners. so we're going to see, i'm sure in the next few minutes we're going to see a lot of fun costumes showing up live in san francisco, amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> thanks, amanda. yeah, i don't think the elite runners will be wearing centipedes or tiki bars or anything like that. well, you never know, but don't think they'd have a very good time.

let's take a look at that route that amanda talked about a little bit. the race, of course, kicks off at 8:00. so a little less than an hour. seven and a half miles. it's a 12 k race through nine san francisco neighborhoods. as she mentioned, it starts way down here at, howard and market there. it's going to walk our well, some of these runners will be walking anyways down to ninth hay street hills up to fell street. you go through golden gate park and then eventually you get out here to the coast, all the way down to ocean beach, where it might be a little chilly out there. today we love bay to breakers and all the costumes, tortillas and fun. you can watch a live stream of the race on ktvu .com and fox local app starting at 8:00, so if you want to check it out, know that that is a live, unedited live stream. so anything can happen. and of course, amanda and yours truly and james will keep you updated throughout the program today as well. nice disclaimer there. >> yeah, you got to do it today. san francisco city leaders will

after 230 yesterday afternoon, creating a huge plume of smoke that forced the shutdown of all eastbound traffic. dozens of firefighters battled the flames for more than two hours before all those eastbound lanes on the bay bridge could reopen. investigators say the fire did not damage any of the nearby buildings. piedmont police call a recent car fire arson. officers responded to a car fire report last week when they found a charred car on crocker avenue. police say they reviewed video from the scene and confirmed someone intentionally set it on fire. no word yet on a suspect description. all of this still remains an active investigation. >> 707 your time this morning, six people are recovering after a crash involving three cars on highway four in antioch. video from caltrans shows quite the backup saturday afternoon, not far from where that crash happened near somerville road in the westbound lanes of highway four, caked with cars there, chp says six ambulances were called to the scene to treat six patients. all of the injuries

workers. their union leaders say the strike is to protest the uc system's crackdown on pro-palestinian demonstrations on college campuses across the state. it's not yet clear how long the strike at uc santa cruz will last. uc administrators say the walkout violates the no strike clause, and the student workers contract cafe in oakland closing its doors for good. >> after serving the community for more than 20 years, lakeshore cafe says it's shutting down on may the 27th since 2002. neighbors have come to lakeshore cafe, just north of lake merritt, for breakfast and lunch. staples, owner of the cafe, says a new restaurant will soon be opening in its place. >> 709 your time this morning, a longtime palo alto business closes for good today after 38 years. jing jing gourmet is located on emerson street near the train station. it's a restaurant known for his sichuan dishes, but the owners say it's just too difficult to keep going. their lease expires this month, and while they face inflation and rising operational

costs in the past few days, there have been a lot of parties and gatherings. >> a lot of our customers saw the news and they came over and said goodbye to us, and they have the last dining experience here. >> the family says it may announce a new business venture as soon as next month. >> i feel very lucky that, i was well prepared and i had wonderful guidance counselors and parents that were supportive of this whole process. >> and what a process. meet the young man who was accepted into 120 colleges. we talked to this bay area high school student about his incredible academic achievement, i guess, and a coverage of aapi heritage month continues in the north bay, where one winery is breaking cultural barriers for us. >> i mean, being the first carries a lot of responsibility and weig particularly. i feel that

(hamlet) it's beggin'! smoky beggin'... meaty beggin'... tasty beggin'... beggin'!!! oh, i love you, i love you... (vo) dogs go bonkers for beggin'! vote for your chance to win free beggin'!

heritage month, and one winery in the north bay is getting a little bit of attention for being napa's first vietnamese owned winery. ktvu claudine wong tells us. the ceo of the winery is hoping to make a mark. >> when we started here in 2011, everything was dead and so a lot of originally it was a japanese garden. they had like four full time gardeners. and then when we took over, we turned on the water and started planting and kind of changed things around a bit. >> a walk through the winery is about honoring the past and breaking new barriers for the future. back in the 80s and 90s, this spot was known as a first for japanese saki in napa. today, under new owners, it's all about a first in wine. >> we are the first vietnamese

owned winery in napa, so the chairman of the board, his name is don van nguyen. we call him mr. derm. he came here and felt the way that everyone who comes to napa feels, which is that it's beautiful and amazing. and he wanted something here for his family. and then it's kind of been a way to share vietnamese culture. this tasting room was designed in the style of halong bay. the art on the wall is original art from vietnamese artists. our our brand names like julie haener not is a story, a fable from vietnamese culture. so it's a way for us to kind of share culture. >> ardi, which signifies sunrise or morning time in vietnamese, says the goal isn't to fit into a napa mold, but to create a space of their own. >> i think if we look at the napa wine world from the outside, it still feels very exclusive. >> it still feels like it's pretentious. and it's just, i mean, it's beautiful, it's a wonderful place, but it that is a feeling that i think a lot of

people have. i mean, i've heard, comedian jo koy joke about how wine was for white people. so, like, there is this idea that it is an exclusive experience and it doesn't have to be right. wine at the end of the day is fermented grape juice, right? this is this is what it is. and it's been a part of many cultures for a very long time, and it can be a part of anyone's household. we are entering our warehouse and this is where we store all the barrels for aging. >> phan says vietnam doesn't have a history with wine, so originally the company intended to export what they created to vietnam, but now they've shifted their focus to the u.s. and opened this tasting room right as the pandemic hit in the pandemic that you guys did that anyway, how has that been? >> really hard. >> there's honesty. it's difficult. >> yeah. so we opened in july of 2020, and that's after we had finished renovating the space, and then suddenly it was only outdoor. but then we also had

massive wildfires that year. so it wasn't safe to be inside because of covid, but it wasn't necessarily safe to be outside because of smoke, hoping the toughest part of the road is behind them. >> they are now expanding their offerings with cultural events and with pan-asian food pairings. >> this is our 100 sauvignon blanc with the lychee chocolate. this sauvignon blanc comes from morgan ranch and this one is, won double gold at the san francisco chronicle wine competition. >> hospitality director candice markovich wilson treated us to a tasting of ardi winery wines paired with chocolate made in san francisco, inspired by the diverse flavors of vietnam, including one flavor that is described as savory pho with a side of sriracha. >> this one comes from cherry house vineyard and i think that's the perfect description of this palate. a lot more kind of those cherry notes. and this is also going to give you a little bit of baking spice, which is going to pair with the chocolate. i really like it. >> i'm trying to taste the thug.

>> room. it's like yeah the back of the palate. >> it is new territory, not just for ardi, but also for napa and the industry as a whole. and pioneers don't enjoy the luxury of roadmaps to success. >> for us, i mean, being the first carries a lot of responsibility and weight particularly. i feel that personally, i think that we fit in in terms of perhaps we don't fit in realistically, like we're trying to make wine more diverse. most of our conversations are about making wine more accessible. >> and so for this team, it's about first steps and next steps. for napa's first vietnamese owned winery, raising a glass to all that can be in napa. claudine wong, ktvu, fox two news thank you claudine. >> happening today, the animal rescue foundation hosting a special fundraiser in walnut creek to raise money for its rescue and adoption services.

one of a kind dance school in san francisco as claudine wong shows us, it gives people an opportunity to enjoy a pastime while also learning about their roots. >> for these dancers, every movement is about a connection to culture and to heritage. >> each dance has a story to tell, a story that follows it with the music, and then the movements. that's like the part that i really enjoy about dance. >> chinese is 56 minority groups and they're so unique. each one has their own culture, music and so forth. so when the audience is, you know, watching our dancers, they really kind of like a, put china into a small a scope. so that they can see from different angles by looking at different dancers. what i want my girls to do at the very

beginning is to know as much chinese culture as possible. >> the chinese folk dance association is one of the oldest organizations of its kind. it started in san francisco's chinatown 65 years ago, and was created as a way for generations to connect. >> so i think having chinese dance, because it's not something readily available, it's hard to find. it's just nice to have to give them that space to sort of learn about themselves and to be able to grow because because being a kid nowadays, i can imagine how tough it is. >> i like the sisterhood, like the companionship, and also like more you learn about your roots today. >> that connection comes at no cost. every saturday this dance room is filled hour after hour with children and even adults learning to dance. >> there are a lot of chinese dance schools in the bay area, but we're free and we're in the community. most of most of our

children are girls, they come from immigrant families and their families. their parents really want them to have to share a group, share a little bit of their culture, keep a little bit of their culture because they're born here, and, and, they may not be able to afford the high, high tuitions of other schools. >> most of these dancers have been here for years. 12 years ago, amanda lee was at school when she saw a performance. >> i was at my elementary school and there was this girl who was performing chinese folk dance, and i was like, oh my god, that's super pretty. i want to do that too. >> that's about the time nikki lau's mother found the association, too. >> it seems like a really good way to spend my saturday. this seems like. and i was also not very connected with my culture, with my parents moving here. and so i was like, oh, this might kind of seems like a cool way to kind of connect with them. >> 12 years later, one of their favorite dances is one they

morning. i couldn't ask for really better weather to do what you're doing today. can you tell me just you see this trash? why did it bother you so much? >> i mean, i think trash just drags everyone down. it just it hurts the human spirit. it sends a message that we don't care about our common areas and our community. so we got to get it cleaned up real simple. >> when you guys go out there and you're actually collecting some of these things, what do you find? is it just kind of your typical maybe food wrappers, beer cans and stuff? are you seeing some really nasty stuff? >> yeah, it's kind of two things. it's littering, which is mostly food waste beer cans, marijuana containers, and then it's illegal dumping. so people back up along the side of the road and just dump tons and tons of trash. i mean, we've got a site that's easily 150 yards long, 30 yards wide, and maybe two yards deep of just solid household waste. we've got fridges, couches, tires, you name it. so it's pretty bad. >> and then what do you do with it? i mean, do you are you

collecting these in like, trash bags, throwing it in a truck, taking it to a dumpster. what's the next step? >> yeah. so we make a massive pile and then i submit a report on oakland 311. and they've been really good about coming and grabbing it pretty fast. so we've got a good partnership with the city of oakland right now. but, you know, volunteers can only do so much. >> i'm sure you guys have been doing this for a little bit now, what's kind of the goal of all of this? what are you hoping comes out of these efforts? >> yeah. so it's really two things. it's getting the mountain cleaned up. i mean, this is really the best view in the bay area. and it's a real shame that it's covered in trash. so getting the mountain cleaned up. but on a broader level, you know, we really want uc berkeley and the city of oakland to step up and put in some trash cans and do regular cleanups up here. i mean, if you go to any other popular park, that's what they do. and the reality is grizzly peak sees hundreds, if not thousands of visitors every day. so people come up here, they party, they have their lunch or dinner, they drink, drink a few beers and because there's no trash cans,

it all ends up on the ground. so we want to get trash cans and recycling containers put in at six different spots, get the get uc berkeley and the city to commit to cleaning them up regularly. i mean, uc berkeley has a $6.9 billion endowment, so i think they can afford to do this work. yeah. >> so you're looking for some long term change. you know, you mentioned the volunteers, who come out here. how many guys are you getting out there on a weekly basis? >> it's great. i mean, there's so much community support for this. our events will range in size from anywhere to 10 to 40 people. and we've had maybe 100, 150 people donate supplies, money, services. you know, everyone who's driving by is honking. the cyclists are giving us write ons. i mean, there's a lot of community support for this. >> john, do you see yourself doing this for quite a while? i mean, you know, these projects are always, fun and have a lot of excitement and a lot of energy at the start. but that seems like a hard thing to sustain for a long time. >> yeah, i think i'll keep at it. i mean, this is great work for a couple reasons. i mean,

not only is it getting the best view in the bay cleaned up, but it brings people together. i mean, the reality is our world has some pretty big problems, things we probably can't solve. but this is definitely something we can come together and fix. it's a three mile stretch of scenic road. we just need the landowners to step up and do their part to keep it clean. so we've got a page on our website to volunteer. it's got all our public servants listed. send them an email, give them a call. i mean, once we get the ball rolling on this, i think we can get this done. i mean, we need more wins right now and this is definitely something we can pull off. >> sure thing. john kirkham, we really appreciate you joining us live this morning. you're doing some good stuff out there. >> yeah. happy to help. >> thank you sir. and to learn more about kirkham's community cleanup, you can go to web links section of our website at ktvu.com. you'll find a link to his site, the east bay trash pandas 918 this morning, some beautiful weather out there to do a little bit of cleanup. and of course, all eyes on san francisco on the bay to breakers forecast. rosemary oroczo what you got for us? >> oh, it's going to be nice out there, james. a very seasonal
