from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. now at 11:00, new planters outside a walgreens in san francisco, but they are not just for decoration. plus after 38 years in business, an oakland restaurant is closing saying it isn't safe for their customers to come in anymore. >> i blame it on crime. i blame it on crime. and the berkeley hills have been devastated by wildfire more than once. now they're investing in new technology to reduce the chance that history repeats itself. >> good evening. i'm brian hackney. >> i'm andrea nakano. we start in san francisco where the city has partnered

with walgreens on a decorative way to discourage people from sitting outside the store. >> planters were put in place yesterday. the idea is if there are flowers and plants, people can't sit and sleep in front of the store. betty yu has the mixed reaction. >> reporter: alan janz took notice of the new planters outside the walgreens in the castro. his dad has lived around the corner for 47 years. >> they're very pretty. i think they're going to be trashed. i mean they'll be trashed in a couple days i think, you know, and i don't have an issue with it, but, you know, the homeless people are just going to move around the corner. >> reporter: the planters were put here to deter illegal activity and loitering outside

the store. the supervisor invited the community to fill them over the weekend. >> we have people setting up tents right outside his -- >> there was a guy lying on the sidewalk like two days in a row almost right in front of my flat. i really don't -- you know, it should be synthetic, of course, but i'm not. i'm just tired of this. >> reporter: we met skyler panhandling outside walgreens where he says you can find him every day. he's been homeless on and off over the last ten years. skyler said he always maintains good sidewalk etiquette and often sees bad behavior outside walgreens. >> i thought it was a good idea at first, you know. people congregate there, which is okay in my eyes, but open drug use and using the bathroom there and leaving trash there is not okay and i have to deal with that on the regular because i'm also homeless. >> reporter: this idea has been in the works for months. skyler said he hopes the planters will make the neighborhood, which is filled with small businesses and

families, more welcoming. whether they will work long term? >> similar to the spikes for the pigeons above the doorway on the wall there on walgreens. they just go to the wall above. >> reporter: other neighborhoods have used industrial planters with the hopes of discouraging encampments. $40,000 was raised online in june to beautify the mission. residents i spoke with said they were able to watch this stretch of harrison street the first time in years. >> we've been hanging around here over 40 years and homeless people have been here forever, you know, and it would be nice to see something better done. by the way, another technique is home depot's in oakland. their store blasts classical music through a speaker in the parking lot. le cheval at the corner of clay and tenth streets has been

an oakland institution almost four decades. the owner tells our da lin it's not the pandemic. it's the crime that has killed his business. >> reporter: son tran opened le cheval 38 years ago. >> this is my mother, the founder, older brother, older sister. >> reporter: the family-run restaurant serves up vietnamese cuisine with a touch of french influence. >> they're very popular, the spicy wing, the cubed beefsteak and garlic noodles. >> this is an institution to oakland and it's very well known. >> reporter: this institution is shutting down on september 30th. >> and i say the shutdown, everyone crying, my family members, my employees. i feel really bad. it broke my heart. it broke my heart. >> reporter: he laid off workers, cut back on restaurant hours, even closed down on

sundays to try to avoid permanent closure, but says he can no longer push forward. business is at about 25% of prepandemic levels. >> even with the free rent right now, still cannot survive. free rent we still cannot survive. >> reporter: he blames auto burglaries and crime for the shutdown. some customers were even robbed at gunpoint. >> even right in front of restaurant and their cars are broken into and they're really mad and they told me, "son, i love your restaurant. i love your food. i love your family, but i cannot come back to oakland. thirty dollars meal becomes like $500 something." >> i'm afraid to drive my vehicle here. i actually caught an uber here. i won't drive it because it costs you a couple grand with your windows gone. >> reporter: auto burglary is up 36% this year over last, 10,000 cases so far. robbery

also went up by 30%. city council president nikki fortunato bas says the police department will soon expand on the number of foot patrol officers. the chp is also sending in help. >> we know people are fearful. they are frustrated and hurting. we don't want to lose another business. >> reporter: but son says it's too late for le cheval. >> mad, really mad, very, very disappointing, you know. the politicians in oakland here do nothing, talk only. >> reporter: not just a big loss for the community, but tough on a personal level. i first came here the summer of 1998. i was an intern at the port of oakland working in the human resources department. my supervisor and the co-workers would bring me here almost on a weekly basis. they used to say le cheval has the best kebabs and the best food, a lot of great old memories from this place. >> after the september 30th

closure, son says he plans to take some time off, but he would like to reopen the restaurant somewhere else, most likely in a neighboring city. there is a landmark climate bill on governor newsom's desk. he said he will sign it in the coming days. the bill would require major companies to publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. the law would apply to california businesses that make more than 1 billion annually. climate advocates say it's a critical first step to rein in corporate pollution. at the same time governor newsom didn't mince words about the state's lawsuits against oil companies. >> these guys have been lying since the '50s, the '60s, the '70s and '80s. they knew and knew what to do about it to make sure we didn't do anything meaningful about it. >> california is suing big oil companies claiming they deceived the public by downplaying risks posed by fossil fuels. tomorrow's day four of the picket line for about 150,000

auto workers. negotiations are continuing with slow progress according to the union president. the union is currently seeking at least a 36% raise, cost of living and job protections as well as unwinding the concessions made during the recession in 2007. meanwhile the companies are offering about a 20% raise. they claim they're spending billions to develop new models and build factories to compete with the ev industry, making it harder for them to increase wages. >> these companies have made a quarter of a trillion dollars in the last ten years, $21 billion in the last six months alone and our workers' wages and conditions have went backwards. >> ford says the ripple effect of the strike is forcing the temporary layoff of about 600 workers. gm warns it will likely have to idle the plant in kansas. more than 2,000 people work there. there is yet another shutdown looming in washington as lawmakers battle yet again

over the budget. cbs' skyler henry has details from the white house. >> reporter: president biden yet again brushing off house republicans launching a formal impeachment inquiry into him alleging he benefited from his son hunter's business dealings. the move comes as speaker kevin mccarthy is looking to shore up votes to keep the government open as hard line conservatives say meet their list of demands or embrace a shutdown. >> i want to make sure we don't shut down. i don't think that is a win for the american public. >> reporter: some of the farthest right members in the house say one of their sticking points, no more funding for ukraine. the country's president, volodymyr zelenskyy, is set to travel to d.c. this week. >> having him here is going to be very, very persuasive. the last time we had votes on the house floor on the issue of aid for ukraine, nearly 300 members voted affirmative out of 435. a majority of the republicans voted in the affirm the

affirmative. >> reporter: as concerns grow about the looming shutdown, cbs news polling shows nearly half of registered voters say they're worse off now than before the start of the pandemic, far outpacing those better off. of those who say they're doing worse, voters in large part are backing former president trump. now that cbs news polling also showed it was unclear to registered voters whether they could get a full second term from either president biden or former president donald trump, though more than half of those voters think the former president could finish all four years. coming up, 100 years since one of the most destructive wildfires in berkeley's history, the city's putting in new safety measures, but are they really ready for the next one? delays in daytime shows are pushing back, their full debuts just one day before they're going to hit the air waves. later this week, the first day of fall happening late friday night, but what happens to the atmosphere when we start

to transition into fall? i can show you how different things might get because of that around here and we'll see what that looks like coming up in the first alert forecast. you know i i got two h home r. you u got two, j jack. and d then my grgrand slam.. i signed a a ball for r you. okay.. and it s says "papa i i love you".". why y did you dodo that? bebecause you'u've tauaughte everytything aboutut basebal. oh hununny bunny,, ththat's s so sweet..

well, on this day exactly 100 years ago this is what it looked like in berkeley, engulfed in a raging wildfire that destroyed more than 580 homes. >> it serves as a warning, but how much has really been learned over the years? john ramos has the story. >> reporter: long before we blamed everything on climate change, dangerous winds still blew across the bay area and on september 17th , 1923, a massive wildfire roared out of wildcat canyon and into the city of berkeley, destroying homes as far as the eye could see. uc berkeley students pitched in to help carry people's furniture and possessions to safety. john iranovicci's grandmother sheltered 30 people in her home that night. >> my grandmother was very smart. there was no water. the water mains were broken. there was no well. where did she get water? she drained the hot

water heater for 50 gallons. >> reporter: on sunday morning the city commemorated the anniversary with a fire ready festival, urging residents to practice preparedness and learn lessons from the disaster a century ago. >> we need to reflect on this moment, but also to recommit ourselves to make sure it never happens again. >> reporter: but it did happen again in 1991, the terrible tunnel fire that destroyed more than 3,000 homes in the oakland berkeley hills. long time resident darrell dickerhoff remembers asking himself the same question people probably asked in 1923. >> our home looking up at the hills and kind of wonder when do you start packing up and leaving? >> reporter: the city hopes this will help, a collection of siren speakers, some portable, some fixed, that can broadcast an audible warning and voice instructions. officials offered a first demonstration at the

festival. >> three, two, one. >> this is a test of the city of berkeley's outdoor warning system. this is only a test. >> reporter: so the goal is if there's a particular neighborhood or area that's threatened, we can provide information to the public in open air about what the nature of the hazard is and what appropriate actions can be taken, but have we learned how to prevent the destruction in the first place? after the 1923 inferno, a local law was passed requiring houses to be built of less flammable materials, but historian tom edwards says it didn't last long. >> very quickly the lumber lobby prevailed. so within about a year or two they reversed that. so people don't seem to learn very quickly do, they? >> reporter: a lot of things have improved from early warning to fire suppression, but the roads are still narrow and winding and there are more

trees in the neighborhoods than ever. this is what the corner of virginia and scenic looked like 100 years ago. this is what it looks like today. the question is have we learned anything at all? >> historians say in 1923 there were actually few trees in the neighborhood. the fire was spread by high grasses and burning wood shingles blowing from house to house. well, at least today it was fairly cool, but you're saying there's a tiny change on the way? >> there is. friday we start fall, friday night late, the autumnal equinox. i love it when the atmosphere seems to be aware of the calendar because it's going to start reorienting and start to do things a lot more fall-like by late this week. first, a little review on today. i thought it was important to point out nobody got out of the mid-70s today. those inland valleys should be in the mid-80s. in case you're not thinking about it or

enjoying it or not enjoying it, we're 10 degrees off the mark today from what average would have been for most of the inland valleys and we aren't warming up a whole lot. we will warm up tomorrow. tomorrow's daytime highs are going to 80 instead of the mid-70s, 7 to 8 degrees below average for some of the warmer inland valleys. in the bay you'll be closer to average, 78 in san jose, 80 average, 70 in san francisco right on the mark. this is the time of year your average daytime high starts climbing a little. that's because it's weird. it's so influenced by the coast. oakland 72 tomorrow, 77 in santa rosa and we get the marine layer again tomorrow. we'll wake up and it will be very summery in that sense, gray skies in the morning, melting back to sunshine in the afternoon. here's what i mean when i say the atmosphere will start reorienting just in time for the autumnal equinox, the start of astronomical fall friday night like right before midnight. we look into the pacific and there's the storm right there going into the gulf

of alaska. see it? that's where they've been held in the summer. they've been stuck up there. watch the one behind it. that makes a hard right turn and starts coming south and it eventually does clip northeastern parts of the state. let's watch that on the long range forecast. there it is looking ahead to wednesday. that is going to become one of those inside sliders, one of those terms that we use a lot in the fall, one of those systems that doesn't come directly across the pacific, comes in a little too far north and slides down the inside. it's not like a direct hit. we don't get rain, but we get grazed along the inside. that's your inside slider. we'll get a few light showers in the sierra under a scenario like that. if we look at the accumulated rainfall between now and friday, we could get a half inch of rain in some places over in the mountains, but what it also does and in is where it starts to get more fallish in an important way, as those inside sliders go inland, on the backsides of them they

start to develop these offshore winds. now the wind's coming from the northeast. those offshore winds dry out the mountains. that's the biggest concern as we get into fall. that's a minor one, but it's one of the first of the season. we're keeping a very close eye on things like that. just so you know, mildly offshore winds thursday and friday, no fire weather concerns, just a sign of the season. it's fall. maybe go enjoy that pumpkin spice and know there's no major concerns now, but we're watching for them. north bay valleys around 80 the next seven days, san jose right around 70 and the inland valleys, the real change is the first day because you've been in the mid-70s. tomorrow you start 80 and apparently just stay there for seven days. guys, back to you. >> that sounds pretty good. thanks, darren. coming up, a san francisco oddball now memorialized with his own commemorative street.

we'll l tellll you whwhere you walk down emperor norton place. plus, who took the top spot at the box office. 49ers came in respectful, left l.a. respected. >> that's kind of how every time we play the rams is and it happened again. >> how much playoff oxygen is left for the giants with 12 games left? and the very best to swing a golf club in napa. you might say they were in cink, those sports stories and more coming up in a
