"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

On the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I was looking for an exhibition about the ubiquity of surveillance and security in contemporary life while two children flew a drone on a decommissioned military base. Their toy was a recreational version of the killing machines introduced into our lexicon precisely because of those terrorist attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The passage of time is often difficult to quantify. Even major events unfold slowly in retrospect. But the attacks of September 11, 2001, feel like one of those rare moments that unambiguously divide the worlds before and after it. It was the true first day of the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Home Land Security\u003c/i> displays works in five neighboring sites in the Presidio: the Fort Scott Chapel, three artillery batteries overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and the Nike Administration Building, part of the nation’s Cold War-era anti-aircraft missile program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12086998\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/4-hls-MichelePred%E2%80%93Encirclement-e1474594016846.jpg\" alt=\"Michele Pred, 'Encirclement,' 2003.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"901\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12086998\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michele Pred, ‘Encirclement,’ 2003. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist and Nancy Hoffman Gallery.

Made entirely of colored duct tape rather than paint, the mural depicts an everyday scene in the departures hall of an airport. One subject is taking off a belt, several drag oversized suitcases, and all of them wind their way through a labyrinth of stanchions and retractable belts that define contemporary airport security. The duct tape makes the subjects anonymous; their experiences are abstracted. The scene is almost universal: this could be Ben Gurion, JFK, or SFO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the floor in an adjacent room, Pred’s installation \u003ci>Encirclement\u003c/i> (2003) is a large donut-shaped collection of items confiscated from airport security—another everyday occurrence in the post-9/11 paradigm. The innocuousness of the safety scissors, butter knives, corkscrews, and toy guns contrasts with the potential for violence ascribed to them by the TSA. \u003cem>Encirclement\u003c/em> makes the abstracted elements of Bassel’s \u003ci>Concourse\u003c/i> concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Together these works depict a banal oppression. The kids flying the drone outside never knew a world in which people could travel by air without having to strip down, pose for body scans and surrender their fingernail clippers. Instead, they live in a world in which everyone is a potential terrorist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12087001\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/33-hls-KrzysztofWodiczko-VeteransFlame-e1474594057123.jpg\" alt=\"Krzysztof Wodiczko, 'Veterans' Flame,' 2009.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"901\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12087001\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Krzysztof Wodiczko, ‘Veterans’ Flame,’ 2009. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Lelong. Photo: Robert Divers Herrick)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Krzysztof Wodiczko’s installation in nearby Battery Godfrey is a prime example of works in the exhibition that deftly utilize their site. Deep in the dungeon-like 19th-century structure is a long corridor with a projection of a flickering flame at its end. An audio track plays stories of trauma told by Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans. Though Battery Godfrey is unrelated to these contemporary wars, \u003ci>Veterans’ Flame\u003c/i> (2009) gives life to the soldiers that once walked these dark halls. The battery has been inactive for over 70 years, but the stories reanimate it as a place of war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the other batteries, Battery Boutelle sits in the shadows of the Golden Gate Bridge, overlooking the Pacific. Iranian-Swedish artist Mandana Moghaddam’s video installation, \u003ci>Exodus\u003c/i> (2012), installed in an empty ammunition storage room, shows suitcases bobbing up and down in ocean waves. The piece references the dangerous journeys — whether by water, land or air — that millions of individuals take to flee violence and persecution, and the many refugees who fail to complete those journeys. Viewers face west as they watch the video, and sound from the piece and from the Pacific blend together. The screen is like a porthole in the battery, a window into the turbulent waters just feet away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12087002\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/36-hls-MandanaMoghaddam-Exodus-e1474594147464.jpg\" alt=\"Mandana Moghaddam, 'Exodus,' 2012.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"901\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12087002\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mandana Moghaddam, ‘Exodus,’ 2012. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist and Aaran Gallery.

Risking one’s life at sea and having scissors confiscated at an airport are incredibly distinct experiences. But each of these artists addresses something shared among the world’s citizens: we are all subjected to forces that wish to watch and control us. And just as no single work can represent the totality of these forces in the world, no exhibition venue can provide the perfect context. But by exhibiting these works at the Presidio, the FOR-SITE Foundation is able to ground them in a tangible site of war and military surveillance, placing the world we live in now in the context of its precedents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Home Land Security\u003c/strong> is on view at the Presidio of San Francisco through Dec. 18.

Then I remembered the date: September 11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12086995\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/2-hls-TirtzahBassel-Concourse-e1474593967909.jpg\" alt=\"Tirtzah Bassel, 'Concourse,' 2016.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"901\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12086995\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tirtzah Bassel, ‘Concourse,’ 2016. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist.

On the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I was looking for an exhibition about the ubiquity of surveillance and security in contemporary life while two children flew a drone on a decommissioned military base. Their toy was a recreational version of the killing machines introduced into our lexicon precisely because of those terrorist attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The passage of time is often difficult to quantify. Even major events unfold slowly in retrospect. But the attacks of September 11, 2001, feel like one of those rare moments that unambiguously divide the worlds before and after it.

Made entirely of colored duct tape rather than paint, the mural depicts an everyday scene in the departures hall of an airport. One subject is taking off a belt, several drag oversized suitcases, and all of them wind their way through a labyrinth of stanchions and retractable belts that define contemporary airport security. The duct tape makes the subjects anonymous; their experiences are abstracted. The scene is almost universal: this could be Ben Gurion, JFK, or SFO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the floor in an adjacent room, Pred’s installation \u003ci>Encirclement\u003c/i> (2003) is a large donut-shaped collection of items confiscated from airport security—another everyday occurrence in the post-9/11 paradigm. The innocuousness of the safety scissors, butter knives, corkscrews, and toy guns contrasts with the potential for violence ascribed to them by the TSA. \u003cem>Encirclement\u003c/em> makes the abstracted elements of Bassel’s \u003ci>Concourse\u003c/i> concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Together these works depict a banal oppression. The kids flying the drone outside never knew a world in which people could travel by air without having to strip down, pose for body scans and surrender their fingernail clippers. Instead, they live in a world in which everyone is a potential terrorist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12087001\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/33-hls-KrzysztofWodiczko-VeteransFlame-e1474594057123.jpg\" alt=\"Krzysztof Wodiczko, 'Veterans' Flame,' 2009.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"901\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12087001\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Krzysztof Wodiczko, ‘Veterans’ Flame,’ 2009. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Lelong. Photo: Robert Divers Herrick)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Krzysztof Wodiczko’s installation in nearby Battery Godfrey is a prime example of works in the exhibition that deftly utilize their site. Deep in the dungeon-like 19th-century structure is a long corridor with a projection of a flickering flame at its end. An audio track plays stories of trauma told by Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans. Though Battery Godfrey is unrelated to these contemporary wars, \u003ci>Veterans’ Flame\u003c/i> (2009) gives life to the soldiers that once walked these dark halls. The battery has been inactive for over 70 years, but the stories reanimate it as a place of war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the other batteries, Battery Boutelle sits in the shadows of the Golden Gate Bridge, overlooking the Pacific. Iranian-Swedish artist Mandana Moghaddam’s video installation, \u003ci>Exodus\u003c/i> (2012), installed in an empty ammunition storage room, shows suitcases bobbing up and down in ocean waves. The piece references the dangerous journeys — whether by water, land or air — that millions of individuals take to flee violence and persecution, and the many refugees who fail to complete those journeys. Viewers face west as they watch the video, and sound from the piece and from the Pacific blend together. The screen is like a porthole in the battery, a window into the turbulent waters just feet away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12087002\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/36-hls-MandanaMoghaddam-Exodus-e1474594147464.jpg\" alt=\"Mandana Moghaddam, 'Exodus,' 2012.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"901\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12087002\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mandana Moghaddam, ‘Exodus,’ 2012. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist and Aaran Gallery.

Risking one’s life at sea and having scissors confiscated at an airport are incredibly distinct experiences. But each of these artists addresses something shared among the world’s citizens: we are all subjected to forces that wish to watch and control us. And just as no single work can represent the totality of these forces in the world, no exhibition venue can provide the perfect context. But by exhibiting these works at the Presidio, the FOR-SITE Foundation is able to ground them in a tangible site of war and military surveillance, placing the world we live in now in the context of its precedents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Home Land Security\u003c/strong> is on view at the Presidio of San Francisco through Dec. 18.

So one of the strangest effects of Tom Sachs’ \u003cem>Space Program: Europa — \u003c/em>both the multimedia art installation showing at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) through Sunday, Jan. 15, and the six-hour performance that Sachs and company undertook for the show’s opening weekend — is how it reconstitutes the possibilities of belief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That it does so by constructing artifacts of a mission to Europa, Jupiter’s icy moon, as a Smithsonian style exhibition, and then re-animating that exhibition through performance, is kind of miracle. No matter how you experience Sachs’ wildly inventive take on exploration, either by roaming through the YBCA galleries or catching all or part of the accompanying performance (which the artist and his team intend to remount once again before the show closes) the message is bracing and consistent: we are creatures of belief and imagination.

Comprised of 50 television screens, a JVC boom box, and a ticking clock, it’s all you need to feel like you’re witnessing the longest human voyage in history. The same goes for the Hibachi grill in the YBCA’s bamboo garden that plays such a crucial role in piercing Europa’s icy surface (a piece in the exhibit that gives new meaning to ice sculpture); and for that matter, the majestic “Landing Excursion Module” in Gallery One, an eye-catching plywood variant on the Apollo 13 lunar module measuring over 20 feet in height and width. The line between art and equipment has never been so thin. It’s a boy scout’s path to the sublime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To see Sachs and a company of at least 20 helpers, including \u003cem>Myth Busters\u003c/em>’ star Adam Savage, turn the exhibition into a performance is thrilling. Sachs prefers to call it a “demonstration”, but that word undersells the sweeping power of what he’s achieved. \u003cem>Space Program: Europa\u003c/em> has the feel of a distant memory coming to life. If the exhibition is the proof, the aftermath of one grand moment in human history, the performance of Sachs’ demonstration is the ghostly reminder of what it took to make it happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when we enter the main performance space in Gallery Two, we’re in Mission Control just before the first manned (though both astronauts are women) flight to Europa.

So one of the strangest effects of Tom Sachs’ \u003cem>Space Program: Europa — \u003c/em>both the multimedia art installation showing at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) through Sunday, Jan. 15, and the six-hour performance that Sachs and company undertook for the show’s opening weekend — is how it reconstitutes the possibilities of belief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That it does so by constructing artifacts of a mission to Europa, Jupiter’s icy moon, as a Smithsonian style exhibition, and then re-animating that exhibition through performance, is kind of miracle. No matter how you experience Sachs’ wildly inventive take on exploration, either by roaming through the YBCA galleries or catching all or part of the accompanying performance (which the artist and his team intend to remount once again before the show closes) the message is bracing and consistent: we are creatures of belief and imagination. And these qualities compel us — sometimes vainly and foolishly, but always with joy — to wilder and wilder feats of daring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12097181\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12097181\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Lander-Full-v4-corrected-1-e1474436886216-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"The Landing Excursion Module that the Astronauts use to explore Europa in Tom Sachs' 'Space Program: Europa' at YBCA.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Lander-Full-v4-corrected-1-e1474436886216-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Lander-Full-v4-corrected-1-e1474436886216-400x225.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Lander-Full-v4-corrected-1-e1474436886216-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Lander-Full-v4-corrected-1-e1474436886216-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Lander-Full-v4-corrected-1-e1474436886216-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Lander-Full-v4-corrected-1-e1474436886216-960x540.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Landing Excursion Module that the Astronauts use to explore Europa in Tom Sachs’ ‘Space Program: Europa’ at YBCA. \u003ccite>(Photo: Josh White)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Stand before “Mission Control Center” in Gallery Two and marvel at its “can do” futurism. Comprised of 50 television screens, a JVC boom box, and a ticking clock, it’s all you need to feel like you’re witnessing the longest human voyage in history. The same goes for the Hibachi grill in the YBCA’s bamboo garden that plays such a crucial role in piercing Europa’s icy surface (a piece in the exhibit that gives new meaning to ice sculpture); and for that matter, the majestic “Landing Excursion Module” in Gallery One, an eye-catching plywood variant on the Apollo 13 lunar module measuring over 20 feet in height and width. The line between art and equipment has never been so thin. It’s a boy scout’s path to the sublime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To see Sachs and a company of at least 20 helpers, including \u003cem>Myth Busters\u003c/em>’ star Adam Savage, turn the exhibition into a performance is thrilling. Sachs prefers to call it a “demonstration”, but that word undersells the sweeping power of what he’s achieved. \u003cem>Space Program: Europa\u003c/em> has the feel of a distant memory coming to life. If the exhibition is the proof, the aftermath of one grand moment in human history, the performance of Sachs’ demonstration is the ghostly reminder of what it took to make it happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when we enter the main performance space in Gallery Two, we’re in Mission Control just before the first manned (though both astronauts are women) flight to Europa. Three technical operators sit at the master panel, readying for blast off. Sachs paces the stage, confident and nervous. Of course, it’s all a ritual of performance: From \u003cem>Capricorn 1\u003c/em> to \u003cem>Apollo 13\u003c/em>, the space drama has always been the stuffy cousin to the backstage farce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12097185\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12097185\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Space-Capsule-e1474438282228-800x452.jpg\" alt=\"Ready for the ordeal of a long, long flight in Tom Sachs' 'Space Program: Europa' at YBCA.\" width=\"800\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Space-Capsule-e1474438282228-800x452.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Space-Capsule-e1474438282228-400x226.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Space-Capsule-e1474438282228-768x434.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Space-Capsule-e1474438282228-1180x667.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Space-Capsule-e1474438282228-1920x1085.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Space-Capsule-e1474438282228-960x542.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ready for the ordeal of a long, long flight in Tom Sachs’ ‘Space Program: Europa’ at YBCA. \u003ccite>(Photo: Josh White)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If we have lost a taste for the momentous nature of space flight, Sachs reminds us how wonderful and challenging the momentous can be, even if just a stunt.

"content": "\u003cp>When the Smithsonian Museum of African-American History and Culture opens this week alongside the Washington Monument and the National Museum of American History, it will firmly — and finally — anchor the black experience in the nation’s narrative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 1915 they say, ‘There should be a monument. There should be a memorial that honors our contribution,'” said Michelle Wilkinson, one of the museum’s curators. “Not just a pile of stone, or a shaft. It needs to be a museum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifty years after the end of the Civil War, black citizens in Washington, D.C., formed the National Memorial Association with the purpose of “erecting a beautiful building, suitable to depict the Negro’s contribution to America.” It would be, they said, “a shrine for posterity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has taken a century for their dream to be realized in Washington, a place visited by more than 20 million people from around the world who want to learn about the United States. During that time, other monuments and museums celebrating the stories of other Americans were proposed and built in the nation’s capital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, the long wait is over: America’s first black president and first lady will preside over the museum’s opening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thousands are expected to attend the museum’s inaugural weekend, and millions more will virtually experience the milestone via social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The imposing space on the National Mall likely will set visitor records. And in an era informed simultaneously by the historic election of President Barack Obama and a succession of killings of unarmed black men at the hands of police, it is a building that will affirm for many that black lives matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its facade is unlike anything else in Washington. The building’s outward design — known as the Corona — features walls reaching skyward, evoking the resiliency, faith and hope that has sustained black Americans since they were brought to the country in bondage. Its three-tiered shape is inspired by a symbol from the Yoruba people of West Africa featuring a crown.

There should be a memorial that honors our contribution,'” said Michelle Wilkinson, one of the museum’s curators. “Not just a pile of stone, or a shaft. It needs to be a museum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifty years after the end of the Civil War, black citizens in Washington, D.C., formed the National Memorial Association with the purpose of “erecting a beautiful building, suitable to depict the Negro’s contribution to America.” It would be, they said, “a shrine for posterity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has taken a century for their dream to be realized in Washington, a place visited by more than 20 million people from around the world who want to learn about the United States. During that time, other monuments and museums celebrating the stories of other Americans were proposed and built in the nation’s capital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, the long wait is over: America’s first black president and first lady will preside over the museum’s opening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Read on…\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, September marks the beginning of football season, the pumpkin spice latte invasion and the start of fall. And in many parts of the country, fall is also synonymous with two other things: bundling up — and most notably on the East Coast — leaves changing color. For those of us living in milder climates, the allure of autumnal foliage is intense. Montages of zipping down the road, stopping for cheese tastings (we’re in Vermont, we have to!) and witnessing all sylvan hues play in our minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, here, September is generally the harbinger of warmer temperatures that last through most of the season. Doesn’t exactly spur us to throw on festive Fair Isle sweaters and live out \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x35sbr_vw-ad-nick-drake-pink-moon_music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volkswagenesque commercial\u003c/a> fantasies. But while this isn’t New England, there are still places to spot summer dwindling away — in the best way. To see the real stunners, Golden Gate National Recreation Area’s Daphne Hatch recommends heading to higher altitudes, “Aspens in the mountains are the best bet in California.” Hatch points out another more local stand out, though this one ought to be taken as a warning, “Poison oak has fall color and it’s already turning pretty red.” So now you know!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not looking to head to the Sierras or beyond?

Magnate William Bowers Bourn II and his wife Agnes already owned a country house in Ireland, but wanted one closer to their San Francisco home, and thus, Filoli was built to resolve that issue. In spite of the fact that Filoli is currently celebrating its centennial — which will go on through 2017 — the estate wasn’t open to the public until 1975, when it was acquired by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Of the lands’ 654 acres, however, it’s the 16 acres of separate gardens that are most worthy of attention. Serving as a transcontinental tour, the gardens feature flora from China, Japan, England, Spain as well as other countries.

Though it is best known for the cherry blossom bloom in March and April, the garden also provides great viewing opportunities in fall. It was created for the 1894 World’s Fair and built out in following years by Japanese landscape architect Makoto Hagiwara who expanded the garden from one acre to the approximate 5 acres it is now. (Curiously enough, Hagiwara is also thought to be an inventor of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/dining/16fort.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chinese restaurant staple \u003c/a> by some as he gave visitors fortune cookies made by a San Francisco baker when he was the lands’ caretaker.)

In addition to the miles of hiking trails, camp sites, lakes and a popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.redwoodvalleyrailway.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">steam train\u003c/a>, Tilden also contains a botanical garden. Located in Wildcat Canyon, the garden was opened on New Year’s Day, 1940 and is dedicated solely to the collection, growth, display and preservation of the native plants of California.

Read on…\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, September marks the beginning of football season, the pumpkin spice latte invasion and the start of fall. And in many parts of the country, fall is also synonymous with two other things: bundling up — and most notably on the East Coast — leaves changing color. For those of us living in milder climates, the allure of autumnal foliage is intense. Montages of zipping down the road, stopping for cheese tastings (we’re in Vermont, we have to!) and witnessing all sylvan hues play in our minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, here, September is generally the harbinger of warmer temperatures that last through most of the season. Doesn’t exactly spur us to throw on festive Fair Isle sweaters and live out \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x35sbr_vw-ad-nick-drake-pink-moon_music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volkswagenesque commercial\u003c/a> fantasies. But while this isn’t New England, there are still places to spot summer dwindling away — in the best way. To see the real stunners, Golden Gate National Recreation Area’s Daphne Hatch recommends heading to higher altitudes, “Aspens in the mountains are the best bet in California.” Hatch points out another more local stand out, though this one ought to be taken as a warning, “Poison oak has fall color and it’s already turning pretty red.” So now you know!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not looking to head to the Sierras or beyond?

Magnate William Bowers Bourn II and his wife Agnes already owned a country house in Ireland, but wanted one closer to their San Francisco home, and thus, Filoli was built to resolve that issue. In spite of the fact that Filoli is currently celebrating its centennial — which will go on through 2017 — the estate wasn’t open to the public until 1975, when it was acquired by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Of the lands’ 654 acres, however, it’s the 16 acres of separate gardens that are most worthy of attention. Serving as a transcontinental tour, the gardens feature flora from China, Japan, England, Spain as well as other countries.

Though it is best known for the cherry blossom bloom in March and April, the garden also provides great viewing opportunities in fall. It was created for the 1894 World’s Fair and built out in following years by Japanese landscape architect Makoto Hagiwara who expanded the garden from one acre to the approximate 5 acres it is now. (Curiously enough, Hagiwara is also thought to be an inventor of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/dining/16fort.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chinese restaurant staple \u003c/a> by some as he gave visitors fortune cookies made by a San Francisco baker when he was the lands’ caretaker.)

Angel. Music. Baby.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truly, the entire promotional cycle for this thing largely revolved around using silent, smiling Japanese women as human accessories.

This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
