country? that's the question after house speaker john boehner announced he's stepping down next month. >> i informed my colleagues i will resign from the speakership and congress at the end of october. >> now all eyes are turning to a california republican, kevin mccarthy, is believed to be the leading contender to take the post. some say that would be good news for californians. >> he will bring in six, eight, ten, 12 of his colleagues who don't know california, who don't necessarily know the innovation economy so we can educate each other. >> boehner chose to leave as the government is teetering on another shutdown. much of that uncertainty is centered around an argument to defund planned parenthood. one of the many issues mccarthy would face. the fifth term congressman from bakersfield has not said if he plans to be the next speaker of the house. pope francis has landed in philadelphia. let's take a live look at the benjamin franklin parkway, where

around the tree. and this week her family filed a claim against san rafael, saying the city failed to remove the tree that showed signs of decaying even after neighbors complained. >> this is not something that had to happen. i don't know what else to say. it didn't have to happen, and it did in one of the most pristine parts of our country. >> the family has the right to file a lawsuit. city leaders say they are conducting their own investigation. a widow is mourning the loss of her husband all over again. saratoga police say early yesterday morning two young burglars stole what looked like a jewelry box. the dark mahogany box was filled with something much more personal, the ashes of the victim's husband. >> that really means a lot to her. and, in fact, i think that box may mean everything to our victim at this point, so we really urge those who are responsible for this to turn in the mahogany box.

were asked to leave for being too loud. >> invited them and the action is both for our own community and for folks to know what the options are out there, to be in a space they feel welcome and participate without recourse. >> one bus will head up this morning from oakland with 35 passengers onboard, and the event is sold out. well, the show will go on with nothing on. a nudge has stepped in to allow a nude parade in san francisco. it's called the nude, of course it is. organizers say a judge ordered city officials to issue the group permit and today they plan to march from jane warner plaza to city hall and they are baring it all to protest the nudity ban san francisco adopted in 2013. and last night in the castro, most say live and let live. >> it's something they believe in, that they are standing up for, that they are fighting for.

the 60's and 70's, you might remeber "frontier if you grew up in the bay area in the '50s and '60s, you might remember frontier village. the amusement park closed in

1980, the early victim of the rising price of land in silicon valley. while the park is gone, its spirit is not. today in the bay's garvin thomas has today's bay area proud. >> shaughnessy mcgee could take up days telling you about the great things about frontier village. the stage coach, the gun fight, the antique car rides, but for the past two decades he's decided to show instead of tell. it's a show, it turns out, that's about to close. if shaughnessy mcgee ever builds a time machine -- >> this is one of the maps that they had. >> reporter: there are two things of which we are quite sure. first, is where he would go. >> the main entrance is here. >> reporter: second is that it would have to seat more than one. >> here i've got a replica of the silver dollar saloon. >> reporter: because what good is having a passion, shaughnessy believes, if you just keep it to yourself. >> the biggest thing is, i wanted to share it with people.

yeah, it's my backyard, but i feel like a caretaker. i wanted to replicate the suspension bridge that they had, so i went ahead and made my own. >> reporter: what shaughnessy is caretaking are his and thousands of others childhood memories of frontier village. a san jose amusement park that closed in 1980. shaughnessy figures as a kid he visited fewer than ten times, it made a powerful impression. >> you know, and i used to spend all night just dreaming about being there and riding the rides and getting to see different things. this is my favorite building that i did. >> reporter: so powerful that 20 years ago shaughnessy started building an homage to frontier village in his backyard. ten years after that, he started buying original artifacts from the park and incorporating them in his display. always opening it up to anyone wishing for a trip down memory lane. >> and that's where the real reward is, is being here when it's full of people and just watching their faces.

>> reporter: but just as the real frontier village didn't last forever, neither will this one. the loss of his mother and a job has shaughnessy and his wife to sell their home and move to oregon. >> it's finally setting in that, you know, i feel like the whole park is closing again. come on in, we have hot dogs and beans over there you can have. >> reporter: but not without sharing it one more time. shaughnessy opening the doors this past weekend to anyone hoping for a taste of the past. >> it's a trip down memory lane. it's just awesome. >> it's amazing. >> thanks. >> reporter: throughout the day, the smiles shaughnessy saw made him smile even more. and the stories people shared with him just confirmed what he already knew, that memories often last longer than the materials they are made of. and when they are such great memories, that's a good thing.

while all the frontier village memories are leaving shaughnessy's backyard, they are not leaving the area. he said he didn't feel right taking them with him up to oregon, so many of the artifacts are being displayed at a exhibit in november will end up in the hands of other fans of frontier village. some of the buildings, well, they may end up at other south bay amusement parks. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> if you know of someone doing something nice for others, garvin would love to hear from you. go to our website, nbcbayarea.com, and search bay area proud. much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up, california cracking down on car pollution. why oil companies warn the plan may mean bigger costs for commuters. plus -- the friday night lights shine again for a community that lost nearly everything in the valley fire. why last night's game meant so much to so many.

woman in his san jose home. he says the sex was consensual. surveillance cameras in mcdonald's home may have captured what happened the night the woman claims she was raped. >> are there videotapes that depict the couple having sex the next day? if that's true, that doesn't mean what occurred the night before was consensual, but it's certainly going to make it very difficult for the prosecution. >> mcdonald was released by the niners and then by the chicago bears after the indictment. the grand jury also indicted ahmad brooks of misdemeanor sexual battery stemming from the same night involving the same woman. if convicted, brooks would have to register as a sex offender, which could end his football career. it's up to governor brown now, will he keep the golden gate bridge free of charge for pedestrians and cyclists? you're looking at live pictures of the bridge this morning. a toll bill is now headed to the

transportation fuels because they say california's cars produce about 40% of the state's pollution. >> so we need to improve vehicle technologies, we need to reduce vehicles miles traveled and the low carbon fuel standard goes directly at the fuel and makes them less polluting. >> oil producers warn this type of regulation will result in some of the highest gas prices in the country. air resource officials say the extra cost is expected to be minimal, as low as $4 per consumer per year. new regulation takes effect next january. pope francis is now at the final destination of his american tour this morning. here's a live look at the basilica of the saints peter and paul in philadelphia. the pope arrived about an hour ago and is holding mass at the cathedral right now. here's nbc's jay gray. >> reporter: as pope francis left new york, crowds began to line the streets in
