Description:

For years, Alma Rodriguez and her late daughter Ana Rodriguez brought the Beatles Fair to San Diego's North Park.

This year, it's coming to the desert. The new location is one of several ways Alma is honoring her daughter. The festival is also supporting Alma's new advocacy mission around pedestrian safety.


On Midday Edition Thursday, we talk to Anna about the inspiration behind this year's event.


Plus, KPBS Cinema Junkie Beth Accomando sits down with an author about the history and evolution of Black representation in film.


And, more young people are turning to so-called 'grandma hobbies' to disconnect from social media — from knitting and gardening, to pottery and needlepoint.


We hear from two local crafters to hear how they're building community for hobbyists.
