If there is one word i would focus on, it would probably be community, it is what i love to see.

Reporter nestled between oakland and Silicon Valley on the Southeast Side of the San Francisco bay, fremont is a diverse city where techies and families alike live, work and play. Its earliest history dates back to the 1700s with the founding of Mission San Jose by the spanish. It wasnt incorporated until 1956 when san jose, centerville, niles and warm springs came together. The city was named after john zafar charles fremont. The area was rich with agriculture, and thrive during the California Gold rush. It is new and had the revolutionary macintosh computer. Reporter but over the decades, the city has transformed with tech, there was the apple factory where the first mac computer was manufactured in the 1980s. Now there is the tesla industry. Fremont is known for the moderate claimant making it ideal for being outdoors, so it is no surprise thatthis cities busiest attraction is mission peak which offers gorgeous views of the bay.

All right, we will check in with you in a little bit, do you want to do a little taste of the town . One of my favorite parts of all of the zip trips. Fremont is home to a lot of diversity. It is affecting the taste of this town, downhome country cooking, we sampled some of the best restaurants, sal you are at the saddle rock this morning, not writing the bull yet. You came out not long ago and had a couple of good meals . Reporter i tried to get on the bull, i couldnt, it is high but they might help me later on. This is a legendary bar, the saddle rock was first opened in san jose, they closed a while and found a new home in fremont 16 years ago. Believe it or not, it is nine in 9 am in the morning, we will talk about the history of this bar in the moment. My assignment has been to go out and taste food all over fremont, heres what i found during our segment called taste of the town. . If youre hungry for a good meal and i mean really hungry, gopher folks were fremont have been going for 40 years, country way on mallory avenue. It is a family owned business, matteo one of the owners says when the family bought the place, they kept the decor mostly the same and focused on building a good menu. Everything from boiling Fresh Potatoes to buying quality meats, matteo says that consistency is key. We slice it, weve been doing it every day for 40 years. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Good bacon, good ham, good pancakes. I heard about the pancakes. Reporter locals agree about the food and generous proportions. I have become father fremont. Few restaurant survive 40 years. Reporter i love going to the counter and restaurants, because you can see them making the food, i am about to be served up one of country waves specialties. Look at this, and look at this big breakfast, thank you so much. This is steak and eggs with a side of those potatoes. I also had to try their famous french toast. Now i know why so many people told me about this place. Across town i went from for lunch from little kabul, i found an afghan restaurant in an ornate door core. I love the smell of the food in the ambience, they were cooking kebabs, one of the specialties. They also make fresh bread called lonnie it is mixed with griddle. It is hot off the griddle served with yogurt and cilantro. She says be food here is authentic. It feels like home, especially if youre far away from your family. Reporter jar says he comes here for the kebabs. This is one of the best cultural faith in the area. Reporter finally it was my turn to try the food. Came with basmati rice, the flavors were absolutely superb. All right, we are back at the saddle rock and people are here to do a little line dancing, later on we will find out more about that.

Bluecollar, workingclass city, the home value in your city has jumped by 50 in just the past five years, is that a good thing or bad thing .

This is designed to be altogether and make it as a group, and we will have fun.

I wanted to teach kids from all over the world but what happened is, kids from all over the world have come to meet. And i can say i am a better person for it, i know that sounds sappy but it is really true. Reporter and her 27 years as a teacher at an Elementary School in fremont, she said she also did a lot of learning. They taught me, i know that sounds crazy but i learned to be a better human being and a better teacher through them. Reporter and then about 10 years ago, she learned about a child who had been bullying classmates for years. Very under the radar, and finally we heard about it, and my principal, judy, we were overwhelmed, i grieved, i felt like something died because i thought we had a school that was kind and compassionate and loving, we made a promise to each other that we would learn what to do. Because we did not know what to do. Reporter from that promise came a kindness mural, a conflict manager program, in this video of children teaching children about kindness. Reporter and three years ago she retired, thomas says it was just time, but she was still working every day, you would think it was her first day of school each time. Reporter even in retirement, she is not stopped working, helping students paint this mural on the shed and the apple orchard. I wanted to see what we could do, it was all from the heart. When people see it, they will see how much we did paint with that. Reporter so many years later, it is still all about the children, so many of whom are all grown up now but who remember ms. Thomas. She teared up when she told me about a man this summer that things are for conversation she had with him so many years ago. A conversation that made a difference. He made me cry that day, because you know, as a teacher you do not always hear that. Reporter a really touching, for Olivia Thomas and all she has given, things to her and all those hometown heroes that are teachers heading back to school now.

Going back to 1992, i was in high school and we all dream of things, i bet you dreamt about gold, what was that moment like . It was one of those pinch me moments, i remember thinking up some of my idols, bonnie blair, standing on the podium and thinking i cant believe this is it, this is my moment. It was a flood of emotions because obviously there is some relief, and elation but also a little sadness, bittersweet because it is like, what happens now . Is that my last performance . People might think that is the pinnacle of your life, you were so young at the time, but you took it as a challenge that this is not it, i have a life to go live and you are doing it, it absolutely, it is my parents and the values they instilled in me and my brother and sister, go after your dreams but what are you going to do to get back . That is what they encourage me, it was inspiring to be able to do Something Else after the olympics and set the bar higher and continue to challenge myself. And you have little book warm sky even though they can read, we still read as a family, which is key. You talked about giving back, but karen chen, another incredible, talented young skater, you sort of have taken her under your wing. Tell me about that relationship. I met karen when she was about 12, stating here at the fremont ring, and i was so impressed with how focused and determined and how hard she worked already. It was fun to watch her career grow, she starting at cornell this fall along with competing at the world level. She is really quite incredible and has a beautiful presence. It really brings everything you need to be at top content on the ice. You also have a daughter, your soccer mom but also sk mom, your daughter is on the ice. I held myself back because i have to let rudy take the league, sometimes i find myself texting rudy with the lesson telling him make her do this. But for the most part, they work really well together and, im just mom, im there for support and encouragement and that is all that she wants from me. I have three words on the wall of my childrens rooms, dream, laugh, and what do you have as suggestions . Keep believing in yourself.
