Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,

to know, 70 years ago today in 1955, Disneyland
opened its gates in Anaheim, California. Walt
Disney's visionary theme park transformed entertainment
by blending storytelling, innovation, and immersive

quickly became a cultural phenomenon, setting
the standard for theme parks worldwide and bringing
joy to millions. So now you know. And now, it's

Sunny Morning sent you. In local news, Las Cuatro
Milpas, a beloved food institution in Barrio
Logan for 92 years, faces potential sale due
to back taxes owed to the IORS, State, and San
Diego County. Longtime customer Alexia Bowens
expressed, the struggle is real, as the county
could force a sale in March after missed payments
on over $60 ,000 in property taxes. The family
also owes more than $100 ,000 in state sales
and federal income taxes. Despite these challenges,
patrons continue to flock to the restaurant,
cherishing the authentic and fresh food. Now
on to sports. As the National Football League's
off -season progresses, teams are solidifying
their rosters for the upcoming season. Some teams
are regarded as overrated, while others are seen
as underrated. The Buffalo Bills, despite their
strong performance last season, face challenges
in their defense and contract disputes. The San
Francisco 49ers, although popular Super Bowl
picks, may struggle with key player injuries
and departures. On the other hand, the Los Angeles
Chargers are positioned for growth under new
leadership, while the Dallas Cowboys hope to
bounce back with a healthy Dak Prescott, potentially
reshaping their offense. As always, the unpredictability
of the league makes for an exciting season ahead.
In local sports. Tomorrow afternoon, the Friars
hit Washington for Game 1 of a 3 -game series.
Dylan Cease takes the mound with a 4 .88, earned
run average, and a 3 -9 record. Manny will look
to bring his power against the Nationals' undecided
pitcher. 86 degrees expected at Nationals Park,
so it's set to be a warm showdown. In top news,
President Trump announced that Coca -Cola will
transition to using real cane sugar in its signature
soda, following criticisms of high -fructose
corn syrup by Health and Human Services Secretary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump stated, This will
be a very good move by them. You'll see. It's
just better. A Coca -Cola representative confirmed
the company's appreciation for Trump's enthusiasm,
promising more details on upcoming product innovations.
Health advocates, including Kennedy, have criticized
high -fructose corn syrup for its health impacts,
while the Corn Refiners Association defended
it, arguing that replacing it with cane sugar
could harm American jobs and agriculture. In
business news, in a surprising shift, wave pools,
once seen as the antithesis of surf culture,
are now considered the future of the sport, even
by veteran surfers. At the 2025 World Surf League
Championship Tour, Brazilian Italo Ferreira showcased
his skills in a state -of -the -art wave pool
in Abu Dhabi, which can generate customizable
waves every three minutes. With over 35 surf
parks worldwide and more than 75 in development,
the global surf park market is projected to reach
$3 .8 billion by 2028. These complexes are not
just for athletes, but also serve as vacation
destinations for families and fitness enthusiasts.

Just be sure to tell them sunny morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. Humans once had straighter teeth, but
recent research reveals how diet, evolution,
and facial anatomy have transformed our smiles.
While misaligned teeth were present in our hunter
-gatherer ancestors, they are more common today.
Experts suggest a major factor is our shift from
tough, raw foods to softer, processed diets,
which reduced the need for chewing and led to
smaller jaws over generations. This smaller jaw
space can cause overcrowding in crooked teeth.
Additionally, cosmetic awareness and genetic
factors may also influence the prevalence of
malocclusions in modern populations. Entertainment
news. Rumors are swirling about a potential reboot
of the beloved Indiana Jones franchise, but could
anyone truly replace Harrison Ford? After his
final appearance in 2023's The Dial of Destiny,
whispers about a revival have emerged. A report
suggests that Lucasfilm may announce plans at
next year's D23 Expo, but this remains unconfirmed.
Hollywood insider Jeff Snyder cautions that a
reboot is likely years away. Meanwhile, names
like Glenn Powell, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Pratt
have surfaced as possible successors, sparking
debate on who could carry the iconic whip and
hat into the future. Well, alrighty folks, it's
time for the quote of the day. And today, our
quote comes from the American poet and civil
rights activist. And she said, And that's a wrap
for this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial
