Did I ever dream that in 1964 when I was a very small pyramid, at the age of 1 enjoying my first visit to the original Las Casuelas on North Palm Canyon Drive as of course a visitor. Many weekend visits later on a great trip and my first to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in 1973, the tram cars held less people and did not rotate while climbing the 8500 foot level of the 10.815 foot high San Jacinto Mountains. These are just some of the great times of my past visits to Palm Springs before moving here in August 1999 from Orange County. w00t

Hi Young Logic,
I'm really curious if you had enjoyed your first chocolate malted in Palm Springs that first trip out or did that come later? It does go down well on these warm spring days! I understand there was (or is?) a contest in town for business employers to submit the name of the employee that best extols the spirit of Palm Springs and all it represents. I hope your people have submitted your name. Just reading your warm responses to all the old comments makes me think you bring in more people to beautiful Palm Springs than all the ad agencies in town. I gotta be right about this!

Very Best Regards

I would guess that over the years the posted ones were about 3000+ and the sent direct not posted were about another 3000+. We really hope that this forum or discussion group will become more popular. When it does thanks to PsViewers like you we will expand the categories a little more now and then, to fit other topics of interest.

It was in 1956 that I visited the Palm Springs area. I was 13 at the time and my family and I were camping in the Mojave and made a trip in to see PS and spend the night mostly to catch a real shower and some real restaurant food. I didn't want to go to town because the desert had captivated me. But I obviously wasn't in a position to refuse. When we got there I realized that the townsfolk at that time were just as attached to the desert as I was. The Palm Springs locals that I've met 48 years later still are. My wife and I looking forward to snowbirding down from the Northwest to our place in the desert starting this fall. I know I'll be dragging my feet to leave next spring.

Very Best Regards

I was 13 when we took a 2-day trip to PS--August of 1966, when you were just probably turning 2, Logic! I was completely and totally captivated by being in the pool at midnight, wrapped in warmth all around me. It left me with a life-long love for that kind of environment. I still, to this day, enjoy being there at night and just walking, soaking up the warmth, and also star-gazing. Sure can't see that kind of night sky out here in the Valley. We first came as our own family in 1998 and stayed in Palm Desert--had so much fun, we extended our stay one more day. Now my son Jimmy loves it too, and enjoys the nights like I do! Frank loves the air-conditioning...HA!! Wink
