You Know What I Really Really Like About the Palm Spring, Palm Desert CA Area?

The other day, I was reading the news about the terrible Northern Mid-Western snow storms in Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and Ohio and I felt really bad for the people there. Here in Palm Desert, we have perfect weather in the Wintertime and generally it is about 65 - 75 degrees and beautiful. You kind of get spoiled and being in the real-estate business, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful people from those states where the weather is so horribly cold.

In fact, our valley is filled with Mid-Western transplants, who have chosen to make either Palm Springs, Palm Desert or La Quinta their new home. You are more likely to meet someone who is from the Midwest than you are to meet someone from California here. They bring a more hometown attitude with them and make our city's ambiance just plain relaxing.

So, while I was cruising to the local Starbucks with my friend in her new golf cart, get this, it looks like a Hummer, only it is smaller and it is pollution free, it's electric! Yes, we were humming along. And she said to me;

"You Know What I Really Really Like About the Palm Springs, Palm Desert CA Area?"

And just then we looked at each other and smiled and said simultaneously;

"Everything!"

But besides, everything, what I really like about Palm Springs and Palm Desert Area is that everyone is so friendly and well, I just have never felt more at home anywhere than I do right here! I love it here, the mountains are beautiful and there is snow on them, while in the Valley here below it is still 74 degrees today, with a slight cool breeze.

If you have never been to the Coachella Valley, which spans from Palm Springs to La Quinta, you need to come and see it for yourself. Words on a Blog just cannot describe it. Well we decided not to play golf after all, but we enjoyed our coffee and another wonderful day in beautiful Palm Desert.

Sometimes there are more Golf Carts in the Drive Thru at Starbucks than cars! Did you see all the Golf Carts cruising around here, did you know it is perfectly legal and there are actually "Golf Cart Lanes" and extra wide bike lanes here too?

Have you ever been here? Did you go shopping in the World Class shopping District on "El Paseo Blvd" it rivals Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills? Which restaurants did you visit on your last trip? Which resort did you stay at; which of the 20 + golf courses did you play at? Tell me, what do you love about Palm Springs, besides everything?
