news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. hi, i'm sara donchey. remember how sad beer lovers were when word got out that anchor steam brewing was going on? it really felt like the end of an era or multiple eras or san francisco. the centuries old company closed because of slumping sales, but in its final days, the brewery had lines snaking around the block. people trying to get their hands on the last drops. >> wanted to cry. it's, it's such an institution. >> the fact they're not making these beers anymore is insane to me. >> we used to drink it before going to see the grateful dead. >> it's a shame that this is going away. >> we have seen crowd funding efforts to save the brewery, but as kevin ko shows us, a billionaire behind a yogurt empire says he's throwing anchor a lifeline. >> i think the neighborhood

really loves the spot. they were bummed when they heard it was closing, and great to see it coming back. i used to go to anchor quite frequently. great with the dog, bring the kids in the stroller, things like that. >> reporter: anchor brewing was a family affair. >> i'm visiting from london. we used to hit that spot quite a bit. >> reporter: america's first craft brewery is on its way back after it was acquired by the parent company of the chobani yogurt brand. the ceo and founder released a video on social media this morning speaking of the purchase. >> i think the best time of san francisco is yet to come. >> reporter: it comes after a heartbreaking end for the brewery last july when the owners decided to shut the brewery down. it left employees like patrick costello out of work. >> at the end of the day we want to go back home to the jobs we know and love. >> reporter: i do wonder why

working here is so important to you and everyone else? >> it feels a lot bigger. it's the god father of craft beer. we wouldn't know craft beer today if it wasn't for anchor. >> reporter: the union representing former workers at brewery wants to speak to them in the hopes of bringing the workers back. >> i do appreciate that somebody came in and wants to keep with what the brand was and understand that the workers are kind of temperature front of it. >> reporter: anchor's neighbors, like kimmy, are optimistic too. >> it's a huge life force for this neighborhood. but it's great to hear that they're coming back. >> the life force is a good way of putting it. there will definitely be more life force with a comeback. cheers to chobani, i guess. thanks for saving anchor. >> though there's a lot of excitement, there's no timeline on when anchor will

reopen. across the bay, the doors of one newark jewelry store are boarding up after a group of at least a dozen thieves smashed their way in on wednesday. witnesses say people traveling in four different cars took expensive watches, gold rings, diamond necklaces. so much that some of the jewelry fell on the ground as the thieves were running out. according to the cops, the heist took only three minutes. >> it was like a drive thru at mcdonald's. they basically got of the car and got in the car waiting for them here. this is the red car i'm talking about. just the doors opened, just trying to remove all the jewry when the display cases and tossing it. the gold is still stuck on some of these. >> we hear sometimes about these thieves targeting jewelry stores. sometimes they go after liquor stores, retail outlets. but the owner of one walnut creek business never imagined they'd become a victim. now it's been hit twice, and the

ordinary owner told our andrea nakano the thieves took something that's truly irreplaceable. >> reporter: dr. cheryl ramos is the owner of pets eternal rest, a business that helps families with in home euthanasia services. just last week police came to her home in the early morning hours to let her know two thieves pried the door open with a crowbar and raided the office. >> my first thought is is everyone safe? >> reporter: she drove to the business, and the first place she looked was the table near the front door. >> and i immediately noticed in my staging area where i was expecting a couple families to come and pick up their pets, i noticed immediately that those pets' ashes were missing. >> reporter: dr. ramos says the thieves got away with the remains of three animals. >> these families have

experienced so much loss, and then to have to contact them and let them know they have another loss and these animals were in my custody, and, you know, i ensure families that i'll do my best to take care of them, and they're not here. >> reporter: something so valuable to the pet owners had no value at all to the thieves. dr. ramos is hoping anyone watching this story will keep an eye out for the urn, but more importantly what's inside them. >> this is the wood box urn, and they have a name engraved on it. these are the three missing. this is the exact urn. they're in a see through bag with a metal took -- tag that has a four digit number on them. >> reporter: it's a long shot,

but dr. ramos wants to be able to give some closure to the families. >> i don't think they realize the, you know, grief that i have caused families. i don't know if they have their own animals. but what i would say is if you have a loved one and your loved one was just trashed, you know, that's what these families are experiencing. >> reporter: this is the second time her business has been hit by thieves. the first time was several years ago, and she learned her lesson to not keep any money on site. now she plans to get a secure safe bolted into the ground to make sure another family doesn't have to grieve the loss of their forever friend twice. >> san francisco police say the suspect involved in last week's officer involved shooting was armed with a cross bow. >> drop the cross bow. >> during a town hall meeting, police say they were initially

responding to reports of a man carrying an ak-47 in the bay view, but instead found the suspect walking down the street with a cross bow. police say he ignored multiple warnings and say he raised his weapon at officers who then fired. >> if he points that thing. >> one officer shot his gun, but didn't hit the suspect. two others fired bean bag rounds at the suspect. he was taken to the hospital. you know all that talk about how downtown san francisco is dying? tell that to the tens of thousands of people getting ready to descend on civic center for a surprise rave. and this highway spill got extra messy. the bay area freeway shut down by meat and chicken parts. and we've got a big cool down coming tomorrow. pick out your part of the bay. if you're anywhere in the inland east bay you'll be 10 to 15 degrees cooler tomorrow. that's what

these numbers are showing you. san francisco not much, north bay not much, but everyone else a lot. enjoy it. there's a bigger warm upcoming for next week. the forecast is coming up. what do you envision when you think of a $2 million home? a pool in the back, a kitchen with an island, a nice two-car garage at the least. if so, lower your expectations. considerably. >> it was a big shock to wake up to a lot of news reaching out about this video. >> the peninsula fixer upper going viral for its eye popping price tag. ♪ ♪ get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer. ♪ ♪

let's take a trip back to our high school or college days and talk about raves. you might picture like a sweaty crowded warehouse or something like this. okay, so it's probably not going to look like that, but two of the world's most famous djs are promising to transform san francisco's civic center plaza into a rave and 25,000 people are expected to pack into the plaza tomorrow night to see skrillex and fred again. >> reporter: it's a concert that's been in the works for months, but one only announced to the public this week. world

famous djs skrillex and fred again are hosting a massive concert in front of san francisco city hall on saturday night. >> fred again wanted to do something different and bespoke in san francisco and specifically san francisco. he picked this city of all the cities in the country to do this in. so we worked diligently to make his vision come alive. >> reporter: the surprise concert was officially announced on tuesday just five days before it was set to happen. organizers say the 25,000 tickets sold out in minutes. >> we had close to 80,000 people in queue wanting to buy tickets. >> reporter: we found one fan among the 55,000 unable to snag a ticket. she lives in san francisco and told us she walk over here just to get a peek at the stage. even though she's not able to go to the show, she says she's still happy they chose to play here.

>> super exciting because throughout the year they've been doing like shows outside like in new york, and i've been seeing them in youtube videos. so i'm so excited they're coming here and doing something different. >> reporter: organizers say those lucky enough to have gotten a ticket will be in for quite a performance with a few surprises. but it's not just fans benefiting. organizers say all those fans are expected to bring in millions of dollars in revenue for local businesses in the city. >> 40% of the audience is coming from outside the bay area. people are coming from 14 different states around the country. it's a big deal. >> it is a big deal. can't wait to see it. the show starts at 6:30 tomorrow. doors open at 5:00. drivers should expect street closures around civic center plaza and probably a good amount of traffic beyond that. all right, in this business, we see all kinds of incidents on the road. like

food spills, everything from apples to spilled milk. even chocolate. but this one in the bay area tonight was really gross. meat and chicken parts spilled on highway 880 in rush hour. chp says it happened because the driver did not secure the load. all of that meat and poultry caused at least four cars to spin out. it happened in the northbound lanes near oakland. police are looking for the driver responsible for the meaty mess. some unlucky workers had to plow their way through all of that. th it took hours for them to do it. the road finally reopened before 10:00. in tonight's project earth we might have another shot at seeing colorful auroras in the sky next week. this was on may

10th during a solar geomagnetic storm. there could be another one friday and saturday of next week and could create another show in the sky across the northern u.s. between idaho and new york. darren, what can you tell us about that? >> a little bit of fascinating background on that, sara, for us to understand where these things come from and why we had to wait two full weeks to suddenly hear about this again. take a look at the sun spot on the surface of the sun that caused that last aurora. you can see the dates. we're looking at two days. and if you watch, you can see the sun spot jerks back and keeps spinning. if you can see it. i just wanted to get that in and show you that the sun rotates. it takes 30 days for the sun to do one complete rotation. that sun spot went around the other side not long after we got that incredible ohr, and then everybody was like okay, it will take about two weeks, and in two weeks it will have spun around the back side of the sun and we'll see it again. we have no idea what to expect at that point. will it be as

strong or will it have weakened? so what we'll do now is advance. i'll just dissolve this. it will be subtle, but i advanced to the last two days. can you see it? that's the same sun spot active region 11364. so sun spots are the source region on the sun where you've got much higher temperatures, and these are the places where giant solar flares erupt from. before this thing went around the back side of the sun, it was throwing us solar storms hitting the atmosphere at a 5 on the scale of 1 to 5. this one is likely only capable of 2. you can tell by looking at them it's shrunk, there's far less to it, the energy is far weaker. before it spun it was throwing off two solar flares a day. now it's throwing out one every two days. don't expect the next show to be really impressive, but we'll watch it and let you know. it was really

cool when it did happen, and fingers crossed. now the forecast. the marine layer is coming back in tomorrow. not much, but enough to start cooling us down. we looked at the temperature drop a moment ago in terms of how much lower the temperatures are going to go for us over the next few days. all i showed you at the top of the newscast was the drop. so let me show you what tomorrow's actual daytime highs will be because a lot of us inland were in the 90s today. you're going to be in the 70s tomorrow in livermore. this is going to be a dramatic cool down if you're inland. if you're near the water, you'll not notice a change tomorrow. san francisco is a good example. oakland is a good example. your daytime highs tomorrow is pretty much identical to where you were today. and oddly enough the north bay, you might even warm up a degree or two. but any of the inland east bay valleys and santa clara valley, ten degree drop tomorrow on the daytime high. considering it was warm the last few days, that's good. enjoy it and make the most of it because the pattern is about to shift. and as we look ahead

to the next few days, specifically the early and middle part of next week, we're going to see a more impressive bubble of warm air develop over the entire west than what we had yesterday when we were at the peak of this warm up. and now the numbers are really starting to show the ability to climb to the highest temperatures we've done so far this season. we're looking at wednesday here. hopefully you've gotten used to seeing this map. this is the map the national weather service started using to communicate health related impacts from the heat. if you're in the areas on red, you'll really have to pay attention on wednesday because that shows you where you've got a pretty major risk. but at the time bay area manages to avoid the worst of that. we're not even included in the excessive heat watch at this point. however, even if we're not going to be as hot as the central valley, it's going to get hot by the middle of next week. let me show you the seven-day forecast. we start with the inland microclimates. yesterday we were really putting the focus on wednesday. of course, the weekend looks great. but look

at wednesday. 97 degrees for the daytime high. it cools down quick after wednesday thankfully, but just know, hottest temperatures of the year middle of next week. so far, anyway. matt, over to you. stanford softball looked to survive and advance in an elimination game, and with the yankees in town, aaron judge put on a show in his oracle park debut. call the fire depart

okay, this is one of your favorite tweets. >> of all time. but i know it's going to haunt giants fans for years. incorrectly reporting that aaron judge was going to sign with the giants. he also misspelled his name. we know judge didn't end up in san francisco, and on friday he lit up oracle park. he made his debut at 3rd and king against the team he grew uprooting for, and in his second at bat lived out a life long dream. sends one into the bleachers in left

field. three-run homer put the yankees up early. fourth straight start where jordan hicks has allowed a home run. third at bat for judge, and doesn't get any better. judge ended his oracle park debut three for four with four rbi. he now leads the league in home runs with 20. certainly doesn't make you feel any better about the 2022 off season. watching judge homer twice was rough enough, but it didn't get better. runners on second and third. torres easily scores. fielding error from rogers. the yankees go on to win 6 to 2. game two of the series saturday night. the a's were in the atl taking on the braves, and they were already down a run in the second inning when jared kelnick takes a fast ball high and away, finds the gap. two runners come across to score.

that's all that atlanta needed. they went on to win 4-2. stanford softball fighting for their lives friday night after losing in the opening round of the women's college world series. they faced an elimination game against oklahoma state. but in the dugout you couldn't tell their season was on the line based on the move. the cardinal played confidently throughout. third inning, a solo shot over the wall. 4-0 stanford. then with an eight-run lead in the sixth, cannady strikes out her seventh batter of the game. stanford wins 8-0 and will play another elimination game on sunday. yankees stadium was in use friday night. new york city fc hosted the quakes. san jose down 4-1 near the end of the match. final score didn't do the quakes justice because martinez scored three goals in the final ten minutes. new york city wins 5-1. quakes get a week off and play cincinnati

two saturdays from now. i have to go back to aaron judge. he said after the game felt like his childhood dream in his backyard hitting a home run at oracle park. he grew up a giants fan watching barry bonds. to think the giants were so close to signing him, supposedly so, and then this. >> and the rest of the off season was meh. >> also bad. tough all the way around. >> yeah, still cool to watch him. i don't know how he does it. we want go away just yet, we have more baseball because the oakland ballers season opener is almost here. you met the oldest player who has his eye on the big leagues. >> that's right. the major league dream is never done in independent ball. one is still chasing down his aspirations, even if he's on the older side of the roster. >> one guy said you might be the grandpa of the group. i was like i don't know, man, i'm a pretty good looking grandpa. >> reporter: bradley burdette

has had no shortages of stops in his baseball career at 29 years old. >> i played at eastern florida state then transferred to a four-year university and went to webber international. i got signed by the southern illinois miners. played for them, then their team was released. took a little time off and got resigned in the frontier league in new jersey. >> reporter: the jacksonville, florida native is now thousands of miles from home still doing what he loves. >> people are like are you ever gonna give up and stop? i'm going to keep playing baseball until i can't throw the ball anymore. because you only got so many in the tank. >> reporter: when not only diamond, he keeps a steady job running a concrete business with one of his friends. >> it's a tough job, but pays the bills. >> reporter: winning is an addiction for burdett who wouldn't give up the game for anything. >> i'm in control up there. i'm the quarterback of the

baseball team when i'm up there. that's cool, but it's also a really big responsibility. i go out there winning. that's it. >> here it comes from burdett. swings on it. floater into shallow center field. coming in is harden. he camps under it and makes the grab. burdett who last pitched in the jacksonville area men's leagues comes in for the save. >> reporter: he knows he won't be satisfied until he gets his big shot. >> somebody will buy out this contract. i'm 100% confident anyone on the coaching staff will get it done. >> okay, don't you dare. >> i'm rooting for bradley burdett. >> we're setting this up, and they're talking at him as a grandpa, and he's 29! >> 29 is ancient. i can't even imagine. >> oh my gosh. >> so many years away. >> please remove yourself from the building!

>> sorry, sara. >> catch the ballers friday nights on pix+. the first televised game is a week from tomorrow at 6:30. for 2 million bucks you'd think you were getting your dream home, but this is the bay area after all.

upper with wood paneling and ancient amenities. >> i think that carpet was olive green. >> at some point she twirled in a room of puke green carpet. she seemed absolutely thrilled to show off the outdated bathroom. the comments on her instagram are a gold mine. one person posted this has to be a joke, i can smell the house through the phone. someone else wrote i thought this was a joke, she's actually serious. and another person posted i thought this was a comedy skit. we actually reached out to the realtor and talked to her tonight. she told us she didn't do anything unusual to promote the listing, but it ended up reaching millions of people anyway. >> for us this is really standard, and it was a big shock to wake up to a lot of news reaching out about this video. there's just a lot of opinions about why this home is

worth 2 million plus dollars in a world that so many people live in a different way, right? so for us here in the bay area, this is really nothing new, but i think that we're, you know, in a small little bubble in the world, and i think we often forget that. >> hmm, not me. i remember all the time when i look at zillow. the 1100 square foot home was owned by the same family for 59 years. the main draw is the lot size. it's 5500 square feet. >> there you go! it's a pickle ball court! >> the neighborhood, apparently the school district state funding good. she said they've already gotten multiple offers. >> i said they're definitely going to get it too. >> i want to see the comps. i don't even know what that means, i just hear people say that. >> is it too late for me to get into real estate? >> the time right now, it's a little tricky, but it's never too late. >> it's too late for matt
