and sunday mass was celebrated inside the notre dame cathedral for the first time since the catastrophic fire of 2019. the world famous cathedral reopened on saturday and yesterday morning in san francisco, a

celebratory mass was held at the eglise notre dame dame des victoires. seventh graders at the church's french school led the service. >> it's very important to us because we bear the same name. we are ecole notre dame des victoires, and though we are continents apart, we both bear the name of mary and so we are called to support one another in our joyous times and in our difficult times. and we thought it was a really important opportunity to bring our students together, to recognize the significance as well. >> and the mass honored first responders and thanked those who assisted in the restoration of notre dame. san francisco based autodesk was one of those companies. they created the 3d model used to help design notre dame's rebuild. autodesk's chief marketing officer says the company's digital modeling software helped the restoration team get a view of what the original cathedral looked like, what the damage was, and how to restore the building to its original glory. >> the notre dame restoration is

an it's an incredible example of heritage preservation, and i think it does offer us a valuable takeaway. you know, we encourage other governments to consider scanning their historic monuments and landmarks and creating a 3d model so that the memory is preserved in the event of a tragedy or natural disaster. >> it took more than a year to create an accurate model using laser scanning and 46,000 images. just remarkable. a new clinical study being done at ucsf could change the way doctors treat patients with traumatic brain injuries. >> for years now, this area of medicine has gone underfunded and under-researched. here's abc seven news reporter tim johns. >> for matt, fan, living with the traumatic brain injury has become a part of his life he never thought possible. back in 2020, van, who is a firefighter with the san francisco fire department, suffered severe injuries after he was involved in an incident with a city bus

and a fire hose. >> i was walking by and the hose snapped and took my legs out from behind me, which caused me to land on the back of my head. >> van had to undergo multiple surgeries and at one point even had a part of his skull removed. now, four years later, he says he's still recovering. a journey that's impacted not just his everyday life, but also that of his family. >> things are definitely more challenging. you know, different kind of symptoms that come along with it, whether it be, you know, headaches or you know, short term memory issues and different kind of cognitive issues that come with this. >> but that recovery could get easier in the years ahead. that's thanks. in large part to van's neurosurgeon, doctor jeff manly. manly is leading a revolutionary clinical study out of ucsf, looking specifically at new drug treatments for people who suffer from traumatic brain injuries or tbis. >> we're not just doing one drug versus a placebo. we're doing what's called an adaptive platform trial. and this trial

actually is looking at three drugs at the same time. >> doctor manly says for years, scientific research around tbis has gone underfunded and unstudied. he's hoping this new trial will change that and finally give people real solutions. >> there's about 4.8 million people a year that seek care for traumatic brain injury. and yet we have no specific drug treatments for this injury. >> while van isn't participating in the study himself, researchers say it's patients like him who are set to benefit. van tells me he's excited to see what results the study uncovers, and hopes doctors will be able to find new medications to help not just him, but others with similar injuries, too. >> every day, you know there's new people obviously getting injured and living with these tbis and they yeah, they change your life forever. >> in san francisco. tim johns, abc seven news. >> well, this may not surprise you. homes here in san francisco are among the oldest in the country. that's according to data from the u.s. census

bureau. the report shows the median home in the city was built back in 1948. only two other counties have older homes. kings county in new york. that's where brooklyn is. and boston's suffolk county. and experts also say the old age of san francisco's homes is largely because the city was one of california's first gold rush settlements. and of course, the iconic victorian homes have been protected from redevelopment. well, the sap center is turning its entire concessions menu vegan in honor of billie eilish's hit me hard and soft tour. according to our partners at the bay area news group, the temporary menu overhaul is to align with eilish's advocacy for plant based diets. so if you're attending her san jose shows on tuesday and wednesday, you'll still have a full selection. they'll have vegan hot dogs, chicken tenders, pizza soul food, burritos, tacos, sushi, and even soft serve oat milk ice cream. fans also have a chance

to take a ride in the caltrain billie car. her team actually partnered up with caltrain to encourage the use of public transit to her shows. instead of driving, the themed billie car will depart from san francisco and make stops all the way down the peninsula. a few lucky driver riders, that is, will receive some official tour merch on board too. all right, now for your morning money report. it is truly the end of an era now that taylor swift's eras tour is wrapped up after nearly two years on the road, we're taking a look at its financial impact. eras became the highest grossing tour of all time, generating more than $2 billion as it traveled to 51 cities around the world. swifties here in the us spent an estimated $5 billion on travel, hotels, food and merchandise. taylor swift's two concerts here in santa clara last year brought in an estimated $33 million to the local economy. we certainly saw the effects of that.

>> no kidding. and now we want to take a live look at the new york stock exchange. now, as trading gets underway this morning, you can see we're up about 18 points here at 649. now it's time for our abc seven mornings advancer. >> it's our way of highlighting some things happening in the day ahead across the bay area. >> first, we're on verdict watch in a high profile murder case playing out in san francisco today. jurors are expected to continue deliberations in the trial of neymar mo money. he's accused of killing cash app founder bob lee back in april of last year. well, many testified he acted in self defense. he faces first-degree murder charges, but jurors can potentially consider lesser charges, including second degree murder or voluntary or involuntary manslaughter. >> and look at this. the world's largest origami tree will shine bright once again at grace cathedral here in san francisco. the world tree of hope lighting ceremony will kick off the 19th anniversary of this display. the tree is adorned with over 17,000
