Palm Springs (and the entire Coachella Valley) are definitely one of the memorable jewels of the state of California. I’m born and raised all 45 years of my life here in the beautiful city of palm springs. And I had to give you a tip of the cap to a very beautiful, and fact-driven presentation of this beautiful city and valley. Bravo good sir, and as a new subscriber, I look forward to viewing more of your videos sir. Stay safe and blessed. How strange … that I stumbled upon this video. I have been thinking of moving out to Palm Springs now that I’m retired. And just two nights ago, I VIVIDLY saw my late husband in a dream telling me to move to Palm Springs. Perhaps the Universe and my husband are paving my way, This is an awesome video of Palm Springs. We had been going to PS for many years until just before the covid crisis. We were lucky to enjoy most of what is shown here prior to 2020. ..but sadly much has changed – even just before covid. The hotels were sold off or changed hands to the new breed and prices skyrocketed. The old feels have disappeared My partner & I and many friends who were regulars like us for many years cannot afford the QUADRUPLED prices! even in modest hotels/motels. It’s ridic My family and I moved to Palm Springs 12 years ago, my kids are growing up here, it’s beautiful to call PS our home Every time I visited PS, I’d always think, “This is so much more beautiful than it needs to be.” This was a very good video. Your passion shines through in your visuals, storytelling, and carefully selected music. Looking forward to more of your creativity.  Any plans for popular southern California ocean-side resort town videos? I want a cool oceanside affordable community to beat the summer desert heat! As a local, I can say you covered some of the best. Great work. Oh WOW! All I can say is this is a stunning video! I’ve never been to Palm Springs & am in Seattle in the spring, under a heating pad & blanket shivering, & it’s raining outside. I realize now that I should have moved there in the 1980s! But, I plan on coming to visit sometime this year! Thank you for the great scenery & information! Used to love going there with my parents when I was a kid. I’m 72 now, and your video makes me want to plan a trip  Loved your video – we have loved Palm Springs since our first visit in the late 90s. You captured it perfectly and we have a trip planned soon and this video has made us even more anxious to get there. My girlfriend and I (from Maryland) visited Palm Springs about 3 years ago in their off-season and absolutely enjoyed it. This was before the word ”pandemic” was ever mentioned in polite society. She often talks about going back but,I talk her out of it. Sometimes in life, you can’t repeat a once-in-a-lifetime experience,…and that was what we had in Palm Springs. My husband and I had a great time this past August and can’t wait to return so much that we’re considering moving. He knows I am tired of the Winter weather. I didn’t mind one bit of hot weather there. A brilliant video with updated images which is refreshing. I feel that you could have mentioned the diversity of PS especially as there are a huge number of LGBT people living and visiting plus there are party-central Arenas. Also, perhaps a mention of the misogyny aspect of the Forever Marilyn sculpture causes some a lot of anxiety. Otherwise, a great video, and I look forward to more. Best video I have seen of Palm Springs. Loved it!  I wanna go there so bad I love to see the Indian Canyons. Do you think
