it was the first day of a

new era in san francisco's u.n. plaza today is the popular farmers market was moved to a smaller location across the street after having been at the plaza for 42 years. the city said they moved to the market to clean up the open air drug problem at the plaza. they planned to rebuild the area with a recreational venue that will include a skate park and ping-pong tables. >> the city believes that drawing people out to the area seven days per week will improve overall conditions in the area. the farmers market carried on today at the parking lot on fulton street. not all vendors showed up. there were complaints that the new location was smaller but the city said the new property is actually 10,000 square feet larger. market executive director steve pulliam said that is not what they found on the first day. >> there are 10 vendors over there and on wednesdays there will be about eight vendors across the street. i'm parking 20 vehicles off this place. everybody used to be there, so

does that sound like the same amount of space to me, or bigger space? i would say no. >> other vendors we spoke to said there was good foot traffic despite the recent controversy. the farmers market will be open at the new location on wednesdays and sundays from 7:00 to 4:00. doerun, around burning man are they continuing to get rain or are they about to get a break? >> they are about to get a break just like we are! we have all been under the same weather pattern. they just got the extreme and angry side of it. just a review on that. take a look at the map that shows what rainfall has looked like a cross california and nevada over the past few days. there was not a whole lot of rain that fell on burning man! let's take a look at where that was, because just a little refresher course on this, here is the border with nevada, there is reno and there is the black rock desert where burning man is held. what we are looking at

is a map of accumulated rainfall. this is a lot of rain in the desert, particularly for this time of year, which is why the dry lake bed that burning man sits on for the black rock desert , and this is why was able to turn to mud, because it is an ancient lake from the ice age. when you see it on satellite, now you will always know where everybody is going for burning man. but that was part of the system that also brought us temperatures that were 15 degrees below average. did you see the spinning area of low pressure? the center of the low is right here. area of low pressure came in and sat right off the coast of california and you really see it! it brought a lot of cold air down with it from the gulf of alaska and we will watch the next 24 hours again. it is why

we got a little bit of rain. it was on the leading edge with a real explosive energy providing the rain to do what it did for burning man. so you can see how they were all connected. what matters most for us is the cooler that it brought down with it. there is another one coming just like that coming our way this week , so the temperatures here at home are not going to warm up in a significant way, but we are going to warm up tomorrow here anyway. you will be about 10 degrees warmer. we will also start out with the marine layer in the morning, so here is how my day is different. we wake up with marine layer clouds but by the time we get to the afternoon they are all gone. we will not have any of these leftover clouds. there is no more chance for rain tomorrow. if you are inland it will be sunny and in the mid-80s. if

you want to enjoy the last part of the weekend and go to the coast it will be in the low 60s and cloudy there. the weather will not change that much. here is what will do bay area-wide. this is where we notice a difference. everybody was in the mid-70s today. tomorrow if you are inland you are back in the mid-80s. if you are in the bay you don't really change a whole lot at all. and now we take those numbers and for the next seven days you don't change a lot but there is a subtle warming trend that takes us through the end of the week. watch what happens. you are going to warm up to the mid-80s. san jose will go from around 80 to upper 80s by next weekend and inland and east bay, gradually that will change and you will warm back up to being closer to 90 degrees. andrea, back over to you. coming up next, the united auto workers union is on the verge of hitting the picket lines as the summer of strikes heats up. what 49ers linebackers like to eat! >> i can make a turkey, i can make a ham, i can make some chicken! and college football on a

welcome back. as we look at the marquis of the theater in palo alto, it was here that alfred hitchcock was busted for shooting his movie. he was over his permitted allotment of goals and seabirds. tonight we

visit the same places that hitchcock did when 60 summers ago this last grade hitchcock film captured the attention of the world. >> the men who cover the c not being covered by alfred hitchcock who has comments about his latest picture. >> the title is quite short. just two words. there were three but we cut the first word "for" and called it simply "the birds." >> it is the end of the world! >> it is one of my favorite movies. >> it is the end of the world! >> scary? >> yeah! oh, hell yes!

>> reporter: 60 years ago the screaming stopped, but who put bodega on the international film map for all time? alfred hitchcock. >> they said when you got here the whole thing started! to think you are the cause of all this! >> it was his last great movie and when his crew arrived to begin filming in march 1962, hitchcock gave an interview to columnist herb kane. >> he asked the following question. is this one of the scariest films you have ever made? and hitchcock said oh, indubitably. i paid for myself and i am afraid of losing all my money. >> where did he go? >> bodega bay. he goes there every weekend. it is up the coast about 60 miles away from here. it is an hour and a half by freeway or two hours using the coast highway. >> reporter: once in bodega, a

right-hand turn takes us to an old school house hitchcock picked for a very spooky reason. >> alfred hitchcock was a man who believed in ghosts. the building is a designated classic aunt. >> reporter: we know of at least one ghost. >> she walks down and the birds gather. and then -- >> as if this wasn't bad enough, hitchcock now makes one town out of two, bodega and bodega bay which are seven miles apart! >> in one scene you are in bodega and then the camera switches and you see the coast. you see them running down what is actually called taylor street in bodega bay. >> reporter: hitchcock's granddaughter was actually at the chute that day. >> the birds were attached to the kids' hands. so when they

ran they would go like this and so the birds would be hitting their head. >> don't they ever stop migrating? >> another trick showed birds in the skies that were actually film 60 miles away. circling, what else, the san francisco dump. >> where they headed? >> the birds were then grafted onto the background whenever they need them. >> he heard there was a real-life attack and he knew that he wanted to put that into his phone. >> that's right sir, i recall it! >> reporter: that conversation takes place in what was once a small diner. >> this was the center or heart of bodega bay. >> reporter: now back in the day the owner did not charge hitchcock a dime for shooting on the premises. all he wanted

was his 15 minutes of fame. >> he gets a cameo appearance and also a line in the film. >> that happened in this crucial sequence which took place right there. >> as melanie is attacked in the boat he runs down and asks rob taylor, what happened? that is his big moment. >> reporter: in the end, hitchcock did not lose money. he made up to five times as much is the cost to produce the film. he also made one other thing. a lasting impression. >> just ask the tourist bureau. apparently 10,000 tourists come to look for him every year. >> reporter: 60 years after filming wrapped here, bodega bay is still very much for the birds. >> it is so much fun to take a

road trip and view all the sites, because he shot vertigo, birds and a few other films. he used san juan bautista as a cover for cuba! but if you wanted to replicate some of this yourself, there is a great book that erin leventhal wrote with craft called footsteps in the fog. it is a great road guide to replicating some of this stuff that we did and fun to do on weekends. >> at that. it highlights the beauty of our area. >> hitchcock lived in the santa cruz mounds because he loved the bay area arid >> we will forever see it in his films. thank
