All of the anchors seem…read moreintelligent and I have actually enjoyed seeing their families, including Jeff's dog Lucy, during the lockdown. I think that the anchors are mostly neutral in their presentation of political news, but I also realize that in some cases they read aloud what is put in front of them and the writer's bias shows through. I notice errors in the way statistics are presented. An example was an evening report about California overtaking New York in total Covid 19 cases on 8-21-2020. They failed to mention that California has about 39 million residents and New York has about 19 million. In other words California has twice the population of New York, so saying that we are closing in on New York case numbers is factually correct, but is misleading. Perhaps Covid cases per 100k population would be a better metric, unless NBC news is just going for sensationalism. The weather predictions are spot on and I enjoy the mini tutorials on why the weather is what it is. The consumer help segment not only helps people get square with issues but also gives tips on how to avoid becoming a victim.

The SubZERO festival is an event presented by South First Fridays (but this took place on both…read moreFriday and Saturday evening this past weekend in June). It's basically 2-3 blocks of streets closed off to vehicles, lined with booths and stands presenting art and music exhibits and selling colorful and quirky creations to the public. There's a beer garden, and stages at each end with live music (lots of slowcore music on the main stage, a sort of indie rock). The real entertainment was the art itself coming from the various vendors and artists. There was an interesting musical exhibit (giant instrument), the Space Palette, that apparently would only run after sundown. Even booths that were just selling items had really great paintings and sculptures to view, making it feel like an outdoor art museum in the streets. Then of course some of the actual venues on 1st Street were showcasing pieces of art and culture as well, at no cost to visitors, such as the MACLA, a contemporary arts space focused on the Chicano/Latino experience. There were about 6-7 food trucks at one end, extremely spaced out. Earlier in the evening only one had a line and it was very short... El Bombero 408 (looked like a fire truck), serving yummy mexican food, including shrimp quesadillas! Another truck, De La Tierra, served plant-based vegan food. I recall Fresh Catch Poke truck as well. So, yeah several different options, but nothing that really stood out that much to me. For a festival on a Saturday evening, I'd say the place wasn't very busy, I guess that's good in the covid era, with lots of open air to roam around comfortably. I hear it's been a lot busier in the past and had a lot more to offer. Later at night it did get more crowded, but not too much. To me, it was a cool low-key thing to do as we transition from spring to summer season. And the temperature was perfect outside, a comfortable 72 degrees in the evening and mid 60's later at night. Pretty ideal for an enjoyable night out. Also, in an ideal and fitting location, in the SoFA district, where we were able to check out the new Mama Kin venue as well for some drinks and live jazz before our night ended, since it's one of the many businesses on the block (formerly known as Cafe Stritch). I'm sure parking's been worse in previous years when the event was busier, but I was able to find free street parking just around the corner... might have gotten lucky though, plus I arrived early like 6pm.

I was there as a guest of a weekly TV show. People were super nice. The facility is clean and…read morespacey. I had to load and unload a lot of things between my van to the studio, and I have to tell you it's really inconvenient. But it has nothing to do with this studio because it is the building that had set up this security feature of the front door. Basically the front door gets locked after 6PM. You can open it only from inside, which is fine by itself, but the door is programmed so you can keep it open for 30 seconds or something. If the door is open for more than the set time, the door gets locked and cannot open again until they call the security and go through the procedure of resetting the door. People who use the facility are very happy about the facility itself, but they don't like the way the front door works. But they do have super expensive equipments so I understand it. I moved my stuff to the right in front of the front door, then put a few items at a time. Put a few items in and close the door. Then scan the motion sensor and open the door from inside and do a few more items. It really takes two persons to just load and unload because the door has to be closed so many times just to avoid the shut down of the system. You can move a lot of stuff alone, but it'll take forever. On bringing my stuff in and taking my stuff out, on both times someone helped me. I wish there's a solution to this because being have to bring equipments is common to TV productions. With all my complaints about the complicated front door, I give 5 stars because CreaTV didn't choose to have the front door situation. It seems it's a combination of the building management and regulations.
