Wow, retailers are reporting to Logic that the 2007 through the end of season 2008 that is just coming to a close is the worst that anyone has felt in years.

To keep this positive we just want you the visitors to take a look into these shops and see if Palm Springs has something that can be appealing for you to return home with.

Logic and Catnip like Palm Springs a lot but these days this city is really showing its stress and we want this our great city to return to its grand renewed luster.

Even Logic and Catnip realize that this city needs to be reinvented because what is was and what it used to be can be no more we have to bring Palm Springs into the ways of the new modern world of doing things.

Thank you while Logic who has to hear these stories everyday vents about the feeling after 34 years of visits and 10 more of living here. Cool

I'm sorry to hear about the slow sales in Palm Springs. Last fall when I was out for the dinner you could tell that things where changing. My suggestion to the powers to be people in Palm Springs is to demolish the concrete jungle behind the Hyatt Regency.

Palm Springs has to show it's eco friendly and the concrete jungle does nothing. If the people in Palm Springs would get rid of that eyesore. Than one thing that could happen is for the Art Museum to expand and have outdoor exhibit space. That space could be used in an eco friendly way and not hid the Art Museum.

There also needs to have a place for the children of Palm Springs to play. Palm Springs has very little to offer families who would want to vacation there. The things that are offered can be pricey. Palm Springs could become a family desination. What better place to bring a family than a place that has tolerance for all people, the arts, history and the desert. That is the beauty of Palm Springs.

I have to say that I think Shirley has the right idea. Much as I love the "traditional" palm Springs, with a bit of foresight, and with the right combination of leadership, it has the unique opportunity to become the most advanced eco-friendly community in America. The no-streetlight policy implimented so many years ago by a far-sighted lady was a start, and as far as I am aware, PS is the only major metropolis to adhere to this policy (although in this, I could be wrong). Unfortunately, the real problem seems to be to strike a sustainable balance between tradition and progress. Hopefully, the powers that be will realize what a unique possibility exists, and take steps to impliment policies to take advantage of same, at the same time realizing it cannot happen overnight.

I know I am not a resident, but this is just two cents worth from someone who loves Palm Springs!

Don and Shirley, I hate to say it, but your are both right. As an outsider from the UK I have been a regular visitor to Palm Springs over 20 years and I love the traditional aspects of Palm Springs and the history that has made it great. However, everything needs to change and evolve to reflect the changes of time and Palm Springs is no exception. The trick is to make those changes but still keep the essence of what made Palm Springs great in the first place - Film stars, beautiful scenery, unique people and cultures. Downtown Palm Springs is a bit disjointed and areas that could really do with a face lift and made better use of. Just the views of an outisder - Have a great day Palmspringsfaninuk Smile
