We rely entirely on donations on ticket sales to kind of help keep us afloat. Then whos up for some trivia . You probably know los gatos means the cats in spanish can you name the reason behind the citys name . I dont know. Maybe because theres a lot of cats around here. I dont think in the 1800s it would be because a cute little cat so would you. Youre right. It would be something more dangerous. All that and so much more as mornings on two takes you on a zip trip to los gatos. And i have the perfect los gatos day for you. Lets start with an 1115 screening of oppenheimer. Then lets take a late lunch and catch barbie at 430 and then hit the town for dinner. So many places to eat, to shop and to stroll in this gorgeous, gorgeous town, sort of at the far end of Santa Clara County. She is small, but she is mighty.

Good morning to you. Were here in front of southern kitchen where in a little while im going to talk to the owner of the oldest restaurant in los gatos. And then we were standing here, my photographer and i, and someone brought me a cookie from icing on the cake, which is just out of camera view. So there are so many good places to eat bakeries, restaurants, bistros, coffee shops, fancy, not fancy. So were going to run through some of the places i found. And you know, this is one of those towns where you could probably spend a few weeks trying to eat it. All the great places. So youre going to have more of that. Garcia i know that there are places here that you would love so just keep an eye out. I know youre right there in the middle of downtown. Yeah. And there are places that i think youll love.

Bring your basket and your little ones and just pick up your Fresh Produce for the whole week. All right, sal, we will see you here in just a few. Before we go on, were going to take a somewhat of a deep dive into los gatos history. But lets go back i dont know how many years, 20, 30 ish or so. I have to mention to you that this show right now is being directed by a very proud los gatos high wildcat class of 1985. And he says hes got a lot of friends he keeps in touch with from high school. So ken from los gatos says hello. And lets take now even a deeper dive into the true history of los gatos by leaning on my coanchor andre sr. You ever feel the need to chase the sun . Follow any road you can to los gatos . See city averages 330 sunny days every year. Yep, you heard that right. Put another way, los gatos only has 35 days every year where it isnt sunny. The city sits about 60 miles south of San Francisco in the southwestern part of Santa Clara County. Los gatos stretches from san jose and the valley floor to the heavily wooded hillsides of the Santa Cruz Mountains. But what about the name los gatos . Well early settlers originally named it lorraine cannata de los gatos or cats corner due to the screams of mountain lions that call the area home. Like much of the bay area, los gatos has gone through tremendous transformation over the last century and a half from wheat farming, logging and fruit orchards to a high tech hub. Netflix is the citys largest employer with more than 2000 people currently clocking in every day. Today, more than 33,000 people call los gatos home. It offers those who live here or those making a pit stop on the way to santa cruz, a seemingly Endless Supply of good restaurants, wine tasting and hiking trails through the redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains and at the very intersect of art history and education. Here in los gatos, you will find the new museum of los gatos. Our Claudine Wong is there to highlight all the important things we can learn about and look ahead to when it comes to this town of los gatos. Claudine yes. Garcia a must see stop here if youre coming to the town of los gatos. Were actually in the art of studio, which is right when you walk into the new museum, los gatos. This is what youll find. One of their exhibits that comes that is all about concept to creation. It is very cool and its been so fun to hang out here this morning, get a look and to give you a look. Kimberly snyder is the executive director of the museum. Thank you for coming in early. You guys are opening in just about an hour from now. Tell me about new museum, new museum. Los gatos is art and history museum. Were located in the heart of downtown los gatos. We love to connect our community with local artists and history of the bay area. You kind of have everything in here. And i know we sent our photographer jorge bustos downstairs to your Permanent Collection because thats about the history of this town. I mean, you guys have been around since the 1960s, and so the history of this town is really important. Tell me about that permanent Exhibition Exhibition downstairs. The exhibition downstairs is the los gatos history project. And something were really proud of. It features items from our Permanent Collection and showcases stories that many folks can relate to. Yeah, lets show that video right now of people down there, because really its pretty broad and wide and its still growing. Yeah, thats correct. We have over 3000 items estimated in our collection and were digitally archiving them right now. We have about 1900 on our website. Thats awesome. Okay, lets come back out here live because what you guys have out here is really interesting in terms of exhibits. Tell me what were looking at here. This is beautiful. This is a work by chelsea stewart, whos a bay area based artist. Youll see that shes working in paper that shes actually made, and she focuses around themes of mental illness. This was a survey that she created where she asks folks to talk about their experience with mental health. So youll see that these have various text on them that talk about these internal struggles that people are having. Yeah, i love one. Just as its parenting and relating to others in general, really just speaking to us as humans and really how we struggle. Im going to send george kind of down this wall though, too, because there is an exhibit that you have called on edge. And i walked into that and i was just struck by kind of the beauty of it and really kind of what it stands for. Tell me a little bit what were looking at here. This work is by kiana hahnemann, and she is an iran iranian born and raised artist. She moved to the states in 2012. And this work has politically charged state moments in it surrounding womens rights. And the idea behind it is that theres this light inside of it thats kind of overcoming these challenges and speaking to the resilience of women. Its really remarkable and stunning. And as you come out here, you know, the chance for people to see this, do you feel like people come in here and theyre just struck by how diverse your exhibits are and how many places they can kind of come in and sit in . Yeah i would agree to that. I mean, the fun thing about the museum is theres always something new to experience. We have rotating galleries and this show were really proud of because we feature three artists working in various media, all exploring these really big topics of mental health, the immigrant perspective and womens rights is really important, and you do also have a High School Program that that just got recognized as well. And continues to be recognized. Yeah the long Running Program art now is our annual High School Juried exhibition that was established in 2012, and were so thrilled that we were or we received the superintenden award from the California Association of museums. Amazing. Okay, so i got people at home i know who are sitting there going, all right, im in, im coming this weekend. Youre saying its actually probably a great weekend to come . Yeah so every month we do free first sunday. So we waive general admission and we also do tours. So this weekend well have rev the dynamic duo that you saw at the beginning of the exhibition. Rachel and rachel hunter. And theyll be doing about a 30 minute tour at 11 a. M. Amazing Kimberly Snyder i appreciate the tour. It was so amazing. Thank you so much. A really a remarkable museum. And i love these museums that you can kind of come in and you can come through quickly if you dont have a lot of time. But if you really want to sit, this is one of those museums that you can do that as well. For me, its a choice to be overwhelmed or to just kind of come through and i think this is really everything. Its art, its history. Its everything that you would be looking for. Garcia yeah, no, i love it. I love being in a little 30 minute taste. Maybe take a break for lunch after that tour. That starts at 11, then come back and do a really deep dive. All right. Claudine wong, thank you. Thank you so much.

But frank, i love it when people are sure they have the right answer and then it turns out to be wrong in your zip trip trivia. Absolutely. And you know, after a deep dive into the history of los gatos, i discovered there are a lot of heavy hitters that grew up here. John steinbeck, the literary giant, actually had a summer home here years ago. And two Academy Award winning actresses, sisters, graduated from los gatos high in the 30s, and one of them was a big star in the movie gone with a win in 1939. And why do they call it los gatos .

Monta sereno, saratoga to the west in santa cruz county, down to the south, 14mi s in all. And boy, she packs a punch. Were beginning to wake up a little bit here on this gorgeous friday morning. People strolling, sipping, starting their day. And you really cannot forget what mom always said. Sal castaneda knows this breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Lunch and dinner count big as well. Sal, you always have the best assignments. You got to taste your way through this gorgeous town. Yes, i do. As a matter of fact, im standing in front of the purple onion where if i had to choose one dish to have here, it would be the quiche. I was just talking to the owner out off camera here, and she says they make it from scratch every day. So if you happen to come to the purple onion, my advice is to get the quiche. However, there are so many good places to eat in this town. Just too many for me to mention. But here is what i found when i came through los gatos. Taste of the town. Los gatos has beautiful views of the Santa Cruz Mountains and a lot of places to eat in a charming downtown area. If youre new to los gatos and hungry, id recommend starting on santa cruz avenue. You can easily walk up and down the street and find seemingly everything. I saw vietnamese food right next to a sushi bar within a short walk from breweries, bakeries and bistros. The locals confirm there are plenty of choices. Oh, my gosh. A variety. You know, it just depends on what they feel like. Theres a really good pizza place down the road. Mexican food. And this is a great place for brunch. This is a great place for brunch. Its the los gatos cafe. Just watching the kitchen. I felt as if id gone to short order cook heaven as the dishes kept coming out of the window. Everything on their menu is actually amazing. Weve been coming here for 14 years. I would say choose one of the specials from the board and grab a table outside. Although the place welcomes turrets, we saw mostly locals on the day i visited, and theres a reason for that. The food is very consistent, amazing staff. The service is very good. I just wish it would be open longer so we can get dinner too. From here. Next, id headed down the street to Willow Street pizza again. The los gatos weather is reliably good, so i saw most people sitting outside inside a wood fired oven is the key to making the pizzas. The pizza smells delicious. I know. You better get one. I will. I will trust me. Ive eaten my way through this place before the key here is fresh local ingredients. So we make our dough inhouse. Its 100 double zero organic flour, and the pizzas are thin crust. Let me just go on record saying i like the pizza. Willow street calls the italian. So it took a portrait for social media of this beauty. Willow street also makes more than pizza. In case you want pasta, salads and burgers and of course, cocktail if youre so inclined. Next, i walked over to old town los gatos to visit a family owned restaurant thats been pleasing los gatos customers for more than 40 years. Steamers grill house since we started in 79. Here in town locally, weve consistently strived to bring in the best quality and the best people for our staffing. Although steamer says many dishes on the menu, i got to try perhaps its most popular dish made personally for me by paul matlock, one of the owners. Its the housemade linguine with wild blue prawns, dungeness crab and mushrooms in a garlic lemon butter sauce. Just watching the way paul made this, i knew it would be a good dish and messy. Eating aside, i was right. So right. Finally, theres a local bar right on santa cruz avenue called the black watch, which has been in the same spot since 1959, as it says right on the sign. This place gets packed. But i came during a quiet time to have bartender Jennifer Anzalone make me the drink. The place is famous for the kamikaze drink carefully because these drinks arent weak. As we toasted together, jennifer told me this place is the ultimate local bar. Its like cheers. We know your drinks, your names, your friends, your family. Its funny because when i was a young man, i came to the black watch and now i probably be more of a wine cellar guy, which is right around the corner, sipping my wine like a genteel gentleman that i am as a middle aged man. So this place really does have something for everyone. And theres a brewery too. And its owned by Kevin Youkilis, the former Major League Baseball player that we love to hate. And thats where Frank Mallicoat is right now at the loma brewing company. Frank all right, sal, were were actually enjoying a beer or two here. Its the loma brewing company. Its been around since 2016. Its owned by three time all star from Major League Baseball. Thats Kevin Youkilis, who played for the red sox and the yankees. And the white sox. I actually used to cover him years ago when i was out in boston, won a couple of world series. And something about kevin, he would go from city to city, have a couple of beers and said, you know, when im done with baseball, i want to open up a brewery. And hes done that right here in los gatos. Lets bring in dan renick. Dan, you you play baseball with kevin at the university of cincinnati. Yeah, we actually lived together for a year at the baseball house and cincinnati. Yeah, ive heard about that. But you cant talk about it, right . Nope. Not disclosing. Youd have to kill me. Yeah you have to come in. So how did beer and baseball come together . By the way, dan is the general manager here . Yep. Gentlemen your partner essentially, kevin and i have been brothers since we played ball. He always been a big beer fan. Kevin traveling around, trying different stuff. Always had a kind of a Burning Sensation in the back of his head to own one of these. And produce beer. Yeah, very competitive guy. Kind of fiery. I remember him as a ballplayer. Does he bring that into the beer making as well . Yes, he does. So he is involved in all aspects of operation. Hes hes an idea guy constantly coming up with stuff. But it also is an everyman, right . So he he gives a perspective of people of what they want to tell us about lamar brewery, what do you guys make and how do you how do you distinguish your beer above the rest . Everyone makes great beer. Theres a lot of great beer out there. So our our sort of idea is to bring bring an experience, right . We want people to enjoy themselves here, watch the game, bring their family date night, bring a large group. The transition of the beer game is happening now with these taproom. So getting involved in the local communities and creating a gathering space and you guys are growing. Youre opening up a taproom in manteca right . Actually, yeah. Production facility. We just cant its a small place. You know, were mom and pops place, but were trying to get to that next level. All right. Weve got a couple of your canned beers and some of your drafts here. Tell us about it. Tell us about this baby to our brewer does a really good job of the barrel age program. So this one happens to be a scotch ale that we laid down for eight months and a whiskey barrel. So it brings a totally unique aspect and taste profile of course we do ipas, we are california, so west coast ipa appeased. Thats the one that won gold in 2017. Its also probably our most popular beer, but we do some lighter styles as well. We do an english mild thats been laid down in oak. We do Mexican Lager brewed with lime, so we have a one man show. Justin peck is the brewer and he does a really fantastic job of keeping things fresh and kind of the little engine that could. How do you grow the business . How do we grow the business . Thats the age old question. Just like i said, experience. People leave here with a with a good feeling. Then theyll be back and theyll talk about us. Thats how we feel. Really confident in that. And youre you grew up where chicago chicagoland area whats it like living you live in santa cruz now but los gatos whats the Community Like . Community is great. You know, youve been Walking Around yourself today just kind of interacting. Its very family driven. Its a lot of really cool mom and pop places. Its got a lot of history as you probably can attest to. I found out, actually. Yeah, but more and more so theyve really embraced us and weve been really thankful and grateful to be here. Yeah. And as kevin, hands on. Is he in here . A little bit, yeah. And tell me. Tell him to get out. No, actually, hes great. Hes here when hes not broadcasting the games for the red sox. Hes here. We talk every day. Yeah. All right. Should we have a beer . All right. What time is it . Yeah, yeah, its beer oclock. All right, well, thank you very much, dan, cheers to you, loma brewery.

I told you about one of my favorite things to do, the los gatos Farmers Market sunday morning. Right now, berries and stone fruit is where its at. And as long as youre going to be here on sunday, hang out for music in the park. This time youll hear the sounds of aardvark. They channel the grateful dead and have a distinct california sound. Yet another reason to stay in or come and visit gorgeous los gatos. And look, if you have little ones and frankly, even if you dont, there is an incredible ride. You can take. It only costs 3 and it will take you back in time. Lets bring in Claudine Wong. Claudine, you know, my two little boys and i feel like we have sussed out every railroad there is in the greater bay area. But we did not yet know about the one youre about to highlight. Oh and this one is a must see. I mean, really, this is one of those traditions that when we went to go visit the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad, it was like generations of people, some people knew who hadnt been there before who said, wow, i cant believe this is here. But some people who said, you know what, my kids have gone here. I went here, my parents went here. And its because its one of those long time traditions that is so special to this community. Engine heats up. You have to show up three hours early to get it to where it will move. And so you got to you got to build it three hours, three hours. But, you know, youve got it when it lifts off a little steam, the bell rings and then you get. To sit down that unmistakable sound that calls to those young and old. Were actually on a bike ride. We live in, campbell. And she heard the trains horn and like, lets go. So we went and we found the train. Welcome to the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad in los gatos, one of the few nonprofits of its kind, though a lot of the other ones in the area are private operations, privately owned for profit things that work to keep themselves afloat. We rely entirely on donations on ticket sales to kind of help keep us afloat. This railroad was born out of a love of trains and community. It was back in the 1940s when billy jones found this number two train in a scrap yard and saved it. And then created something everyone could enjoy. He loved trains, so he actually worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad for his entire career. So he grew up working with trains and having the opportunity to run a small engine on his property was something that appealed to him. He also just had a general love and care for the community, so he wouldnt charge for tickets, any donations that would come in outside of just general maintenance costs. He would donate to local charities. It became a part of the fabric of los gatos, and jones made sure it stayed. We actually have a photo of billy jones and walt disney. Were actually friends to the point where walt wanted the number two engine to operate in disneyland. And originally before billy convinced and encouraged him to get his own engine so that it would have its own history rather than erasing the history of the number two. After he died in 1968, a group of businessmen came together to make sure his legacy endured and moved the train here to oak meadow park. Today the tradition continues. What are we going to go on . Did today . Weve been coming here since his daddy was his age. I like to engine and while its not free anymore, the railroad says prices are kept as low as possible. Whats the first thing you said . The if it was overpriced, we couldnt do it. But if it was priced and the budget, we could do it just 3. Get you a seat. Have you been on this train before . Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. What do you like about the train . The ocean takes you back. Childhood and new memories for our boys. Yeah. It gets you a ride past los gatos creek. And through the 12 acre park. We never really went outside outside of the day. And now i live in Mountain View with my family, and i found this place. And my boys. I have three boys. They love the train. Its slow and fun. 3 will also get you on the bill mason carousel built in 1915, it joined the railroad in 1991 and beckons you to find that special horse. It was like it had blond hair. It was the color white. And it like, had flowers and stuff on it and take a little spin. In fact, we went to disneyland and all he wanted was the carousel. Because of this one, we do the train and the carousel once a week at least. Yeah yeah. Do you like the train . Yeah the carousel. And this fleet of trains have a history, but. So do the people who care for them. The high school kids. Who are your crossing guards and conductors. All of that. Volunteers like cortland, who do whatever is needed. I like pretty much everything. And ever since i was like 9 or 10, ive been really into trains. Ive been coming here since i was like probably a toddler. I do like any kind of like job that doug wants me to do. Like i, i scrape rocks out of the ties. Um i work on the roofs sometimes, and people like kelly lock who started here as a teenager looking for a summer job and ended up board president. Climbing the hill is the most challenging, which i really enjoy the challenge, especially with this locomotive. In 1970, i started training on the number two engine and became an engineer on the railroad in august of 1970. Stop it. So ive been an engineer here for 53 years. Wow so there you go. Why there still . Im still trying to get it right. And i will continue doing it until they either kick me out or i get it right. I think he gets it right every single time. And really, what a fun day i got to spend really. We rode that train maybe more than once, maybe more than a few times. And the food there is also inexpensive. So really as a day and a trip out, the park is beautiful. What a special place. And really kind of a gem of los gatos. If you are headed out here, that is definitely a place to stop with your kiddos. And you know, i mean, honestly, because in claudine, you know this we both grew up sort of in the heart of the bay because los gatos is somewhat on the fringe of the greater bay area. Its one of those look, as long as were going, lets do a bunch of things and one of the bunch of things we can do is maybe go to the new museum, los gatos, because there really is a lot there to explore as well. Yeah, absolutely. This place is so cool. Weve been kind of just touring it and learning so much and now we have like interesting factoids that we can tell you about los gatos, this guy behind us, one of our directors was saying, is that mountain charlie behind you . That is mountain charlie behind you. Local legend actually took tolls from stagecoach. And if you look really close, heres the thing you need to look close. Hes missing an eye, mauled by a bear. But theres actually if lots of stories about an exhibit here, this is the permanent exhibit in the museum, los gatos. So it gives a lot of the history. Also, if you havent heard about the boys, i found all of this so interesting. So first, openly gay common law married couple in the nation. Did you know that . So moved to los gatos in 1911. And so they were also artists. And so there is art here. And these are really kind of the special spots of new Museum Los Gatos. If you come in here, you dont want to miss right . You want to go downstairs, you want to go into the back, you want to go into all these different places and thats really what makes the trip special, right . We mentioned before free sunday is on that first sunday. So this weekend they have artists coming in. You can come through here and you can kind of just explore and i guarantee you therell be spots going, oh my gosh, i had no idea. And then youll want to come back. Right, right now, i mean, one of the best parts about zip trips, selfishly speaking, you know, claudine and i, well get together and be like, hey, did you know where, hey, i checked out this place, or, hey, have you been . And so its almost like we get to go on our own zip trip as well. All right, claudine, thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. You know, as we focus on los gatos, we keep coming back to this theme of community and it is all about togetherness and togetherness really does breed wellness. So coming up, were going to talk about you know, a yoga studio that has been able to spread its message and spread its love all across really the country and the world started here in los gatos. Theyre doing Amazing Things in keeping people healthy and well. When we come back, were going to talk with the head of yoga source, linda mcgrat a foc and now please welcome ana montoya. [applause] [suspense] hello there, fellow students. Join me in the finish 24 hour challenge. Start by cooking a lasagna. Skip the rinse and load your dishes. 24 hours later when your dishwasher is full, let finish quantum clean your dishes. Try finish quantum. Unbeatable clean. Unbeatable price. And really partnered up with health and wellness. And for a lot of people here and elsewhere, it means yoga. I want you to meet linda mcgrath. She is the founder of one of the oldest and largest yoga studios here in northern california. Yoga source, thanks for being with us. Thank you for having me. I have to tell you, as soon as i started to kind of set up a little bit straighter, so ill do that now, you know, yoga, so many people think its it is about the physical movement, but its also about whats inside the body. Absolutely. Its based in mindful ness. So its about paying attention and paying attention with a kind of kindness towards yourself. So youre not judging yourself, but youre just observing as your body is moving. The sensations that its giving you and youre learning to interpret them skillfully. And then to make kind of adjustments based on that. And so its a its a meditation in motion. Can you tell me a little bit about were watching one of is she a student . Is she a partner at kalani is here. Helen is one of our teachers. Yes, shes doing some incredible movements. For those who dont know anything, yoga, ill count myself in this group. What does kalani showing us . So kalani right now is rising up into a crescent pose. So shes going to lift the chest and reach the arms up. And this is a great way to open up the front of the back hip. Its going to strengthen her legs. Shes going to engage her core and create length through the spine. So its going to work. The entire body. And its a powerful pose. Absolutely. Yes. You know, my two little boys actually started doing yoga, i think, in kindergarten. And of course, id seen it here and there and i never really did it. And i stood in in one of their classes and i did it. And those kids took to it. And i just thought, wow, this isnt as mysterious as some adults might think it is. No. And its actually kind of playful. Its kind of fun because youre just exploring different shapes with your body. Cat cow. And. Thats right. Exactly. That sort of thing. Tell me about how youve been able to really spread your message that, number one, yoga is for anyone and everyone. And number two, it should be accessible to all. Youve been doing this work for more than 20 years. Why is that in particular so important for you . Well, i think that yoga should be able to welcome everyone, no matter their age, no matter their capability. And really, honestly take you with open arms wherever you are. Exactly. Exactly and just know that through the process of practicing, youre going to get stronger. Youre going to become more limber, youre going to feel better, youre going to sleep better. Youre going to. Its not that you wont have stress in your life anymore, but youll learn how to dance with it more skillfully. I like that. Dance with it. And instead of trying to stomp it out, youre like this stress is a part of life. And absolutely. You mentioned to me a minute ago that during the pandemic, when we couldnt get together and when we couldnt all follow our fitness routines, people realized, well, this is important. Tell me about what youve seen now that the pandemic has waned dramatically. Well i think that the pandemic has made us realize just how Important Community is and how impactful it is to hold the space for each other when were going through hardship and in a way, a challenging yoga class or challenging pilates class is going to put you in that kind of fight or flight because you are doing challenging movements. And so learning how to manage that. But also being in a space thats being held by all these people who are kind of quietly rooting for you as theyre doing their own practice. I like that. Thats just so meaningful and powerful and people crave that. They do. And also, ill go back to what you said about being able to dance with the stress that life brings us as a big old truck rolls right through downtown los gatos. I am still calm in your presence. Thank you so much. Linda mcgrath and kehlani for sharing yoga sauces. Work with us. Thank you so much for being here for sure. Congratulations to you.
