Enjoyed the mid century modern homes! I’m with you Steve. No need for grass in the desert. The rocks and pebbles looked so clean and natural in that setting. Thank you for sharing the history and rich environment that is Palm Springs!💞
I used to watch The Adams Family as a kid and loved The Munsters The Monkees and Saturday morning TV shows ! I used to watch HR Puffin Stuff Lidsville and Land of the Lost and The Bugaloos ! I watched Adams Family and The Munsters in the 60s and the other Marty Kroft shows from age 14 till they ended !
Desert landscaping makes the most sense in Palm Springs and the surrounding communities. Work with beautiful natural vegetation rather than try to make the desert into something it’s not. We have several lending library boxes in the neighborhoods that I walk. I always try to remember to bring a book along with me to share. ❤ Paul
When I was a kid I wanted to live with the Addams Family. Loving your videos Steve. I only get to PS a couple times a year, watching your videos is the next best thing, ❤😊
Thank you Steve, for this lovely informative 🚶 walking and driving 🚘 tour. I always enjoy your videos so much. Thanks again for taking the time out of your busy retirement schedule to show us around some of the beautiful homes in the Palm Springs area. 🏜 Lol.... Until your next video with us, please take care of yourself and say hello to Jim for us.
Great video Steve! Cindy Williams lived her later years in Desert Hot Springs where she passed. I don't know exactly where but use to see her grocery shopping at Von's.
Hi Mark, that’s awesome they used to see her shopping at the store. Our Wikipedia page and find a great memorial page says she died in Los Angeles. Maybe she was living in DHS at the time but got sick and was taken to a hospital up in LA? That’s the problem with online info, it’s often incorrect. I would love to know exactly where she died. I just checked another site online and I did find a Desert Hot Springs address for her on Mesa Avenue. And it does say that it was last reported in 2023. And she died in 2023, so I think you are correct. I wonder why Wikipedia and find a grave say Los Angeles? Maybe because that’s where she is buried. Thanks for the update. 👍
I wonder why she lived in DHS. Not that long ago, the town was raw around the edges. 3 of my kids lived there for a while. Haven't been up that way in a long time.
@steveinpalmspringsca Because everyone knows LA, but DHS is another animal altogether. Not many have heard Desert Hot Springs. My husband worked at the Spa Casino and saw Ms. Williams a couple of times.
One of my favorite movies. Thanks for a great tour..👍 Wow palm springs is amazing. what loving views of mountains those houses have. Maybe in my next life...😂🤞
Thank You Steve for another wonderful tour of Palm Springs! I would have loved to have gone to see Palm Springs when I could still walk around more. I love the Mountains there. They remind me of the Foothills behind our Farm where I grew up. I can honestly say that I miss the farm life with chickens, cows, sheep and my Son’s pet Rabbit, named Arthur or Artie for short! Artie had his own Condo!😊 Oops, I’m digressing here. This was a great tour as always. Blessings to You and Jim! ❤❤❤
That was nice to feel like being back my neighborhood in 1990! I had an Alexander built home on N. Orchid Tree. It was still untouched (non remodeled) with it's shag carpeting and 70's colors. Me and my English Springer Spaniel thoroughly enjoyed our back yard and pool. And Vista Las Palmas....I had a friend who lived behind the gates on that street, towards the end also but on the left hand side. We used to meet up at the piano bar (Gloria's??) once and a while. Thanks for the memories!
Very cool tour Steve. I was surprised when I was there back in October to find a fence around Dean Martins home. I was so looking forward to exploring it. Thanks for sharing, we absolutely love the Addams Family and now I need to check out the John Paragons Niche.
Thanks Jeff, hopefully Paul Reubens will have a cremation niche at Hollywood forever, near John Paragon. They were good friends so I wouldn’t be surprised. Paul was Jewish so it might not show up until after the one-year anniversary of his death. I will definitely go back to visit when the time comes. Who knows, maybe I will run into you guys there. 😊👍
@steveinpalmspringsca I attended a Dia de Los Murtos event at Hollywood Forever Cemetery a few years ago. I went in some of the mosleums but never saw these special nitch's. There are some amazing head stones there. Johnny Ramons headstone stands out.
It’s always so interesting to see the architecture there as it’s so different from here in Germany. Here most homes have at least 2 floors and sharply sloped roofs. It’s quite common here for there to be various family members living in separate apartments within the house, too, 3 of my friends live like that in the same house as their parents. Of course the plants are a lot different here too!
@@steveinpalmspringsca oh there are people who do that here too! My husband’s oldest friend lives in a house that has 3 or 4 separate apartments on 4 floors! He lives in the top floor! His parents and grandmother used to live there too but his grandmother and father died and his mother moved to another home they own so he’s all on his own in a huge house with all these separate apartments!
Never have I had much interest in "Mid-Century Modern" homes.. until now, seeing how Unusual they can be. The Hard Landscaping is so Pretty too. Mid-Century Modern always reminds me of "The Brady Bunch" house. ha
The Brady Bunch house was a split story early 1960s contemporary house. I toured a house that was for sale, and the master bedroom had a bathroom with a tiled tub you stepped down into. I was told it was common in these mid century homes. Google the Brady Bunch house. It was for sale not that long ago, and I believe the new owner revived that 1960s look inside.
Terrific video Steve! We loved pee wee s playhouse here in this house :) As a young Canadian girl I often was "California dreaming" thanks for bringing some of it to life!
Hi CD, I had lunch with him and Scott from Toronto when he first moved here to the Palm Springs area. And I’ve run into him at a couple of events here. Unfortunately we haven’t done any videos together yet, but I would love to. And I agree with you, I love his videos and his channel. 😎👍
I love the mid century homes and all the rock landscaping 😂 less up keep that’s for sure ! I love the pink bricks and pink accents there! It blends in so nicely ❤
Before we moved here I thought gravel yards would be easy to maintain, but turns out after every rain we get lots of weeds and it's very difficult to pull them out of the gravel, lol. Who knew? Thankfully we don't usuallly get a lot of rain here! :-O
I don't know if you noticed or not, but you also passed the mailbox that "thing" retried in! 😋 Fun fact: During his retirement years he was an actor for the "Yellow Pages".
One of your best videos yet. I love mid century homes, desert landscaping and breeze blocks. Would love to walk that neighborhood. Thank you❤❤❤❤plus the bonus planes.😊😊😊
It’s the view that draws people in, I really think I could live with the traffic in order for that gorgeous view ❤, I bet the inside of those homes are beautiful.
Very true Monica and yes, interiors are very beautiful. Modernism Week is coming up soon and many will be open for tours. Unfortunately, the tours are usually $50 or more per house, so pretty pricy to get in to see. :-(
Single and double butterfly roofs. That area of Palm Springs has a lot of Alexander homes. The mid century modern, or Modenisim week is in February, I believe.
116th Heyy Steve....Loved the addams family .....you can almost imagine the Golden Girls house in that Neighbhood...we're all gettin' old....all our childhoood show celebs are dropping :( xo... Hello to Jim !
I love this video!!! I have yet to drive around these neighborhood roads, still sticking to the main drag. So it's fun to see these homes. One of these days, I would like to take a historical tour of them. Last year I took a bus tour of some of the homes around downtown Palm Springs and it was interesting but it was a very chilly day. Stay dry Steve, I hear this storm is going to be bigger than the last.
Hi Amy, I can't believe how much rain we are getting!! I guess we can use it though. Better than a draught. If you into walking, you can always join me on a future neighborhood walk. Just text me. :-)
Steve thank you so much for this video. I have been wondering about Elvis and Dean Martin's houses since you showed them last. I hope they don't demolish Dean's home. I am a big Dean Martin fan..lol. Of course, I was also an Elvis fan...who wasn't back then..lol. I love these videos where you show us PS. It brings back so many memories of our vacation there in 2021.
Glad you enjoyed it Darlene! Fingers crossed they don't tear it down. I think most of the town would show up and chain themselves to the house to prevent it lol. :-)
Loved the Adams Family ... Thank you for the Tour and down memory lane. The homes are so different from ours in the UK. Wish we had the sunshine 🌞 like Palm Springs ... Keep making your videos Steve.
I love these walks. It is very interesting to me because I have always lived on the east coast and the homes and desert landscape of Palm Springs makes me feel like it's another planet.
Hi. Love the old shows on tv...Munsters.. Laverne and Shirley.. The Monkees.. etc... .the homes are all beautiful and so different to us here . Nice ... Palm Springs knows how to landscape . Nice day in the neighborhood..it's very fine . Thanks for a great vlog........ Deborah 🇨🇦
Hi Steve, thanks for the tour. I like to explore further the home you showcase by going on to Zillow, finding the home and hopefully there are pics of the inside. As someone from Palm Springs, I also like to drive to a neighborhood and walk that area. Thanks again.
I just love your walk and talks!!! It gives those of us far away and in the midst of winter a glimpse of paradise! And it gives us an idea of places to drive by or stroll when we do return. Thank you!!!
As always, Thank You for this great video, Steve! Waking up every day of your life and seeing those beautiful homes and spectacular views of the mountains is a real blessing!
Steve, I appreciate your videos so much! I was raised in Palm Springs. In about 10 years, my husband and I will be moving back to Palm Springs. For retirement. I cannot wait! We visit quite often, but, can’t wait to be a full timer, again. ❤️☀️ I love your videos and reliving some of the old streets and places you visit. I love how you visit old movie star homes, etc. I also LOVE mid century and desert landscape is my favorite, too. Keep up the awesome work, I appreciate you so much!❤️✌🏼☀️
Glad you enjoy the videos Carla. That's awesome that you grew up here and are able to come back to retire here. It's a pretty special place to retire! :-)
Good morning, Steve! Thank you so much for this neighborhood tour. Oh yes..I was a big Adam’s Family fan; watched it all the time as a kid. This will make for a nice walk from our place by the casino . We did end up coming to Palm Springs for 3 days. Our place is officially set up! That is good as I am tired of doing work on every visit. Sorry I didn’t reach out for a walk. My wife has a surgery this Monday, so we needed to get back to CO before the weather set in, and get her ready for that.
Hi Alan, one of these days we can get together for a walk around one of our many neighborhoods here in Palm Springs. I hope your wife’s surgery is not something too serious. Best of luck to her! 🤞👍
I got to visit there once for 2 weeks . I loved it there. I love watching these videos. My son still lives there and he loves it. He no longer likes his hometown (ohio) winters!
Wow, the views of those mountains are awe- inspiring!! I used to think I didn’t like the desert landscaping I guess because I grew up with grass but some of those examples are beautiful. Less maintenance as well. My granddaughter lives in El Paso and has desert landscaping in the front yard, I’m going to have her watch this so she can get some ideas. Thanks for another great walk! PS Your eye is looking much better.
I have to admit, I never heard of any of these actors!🤔 I guess my only excuse can be that I didn't live or grow up in the U.S. in the 1950's or 60's although I had heard of the Addams Family!! Nevertheless, I'm enjoying the walk through this lovely sun soaked blue skies neighborhood! But the leaf blowers....!! how annoying are those! Alot of noice signifying nothing and I believe county by county in California gradually they are being replaced by electric powered blowers which are much quieter and we already have them here in Santa Cruz being used by city workers.👏 Once again Steve, thanks for taking us along on your walk!👍
Thanks for coming along Catherine. The real stars of these neighborhoods really are the homes. And Palm Springs passed a law a few years ago that only electric leaf blowers are allowed, but they don’t seem to enforce that law at all unfortunately! 😩
Oh wow, this has been my favorite of your neighborhood walking videos so far. Beautiful neighborhood -- so many good ideas for my own desert front yard!
Good morning Steve, I saw on Facebook the other day Suzanne Summers’s house is up for sale for $9 million in Palm Springs. That’s a lot of money ain’t it hope you have a wonderful day. God bless Karen Gregar.
Hi Karen, thanks for letting me know. I wonder if it was the house she bought a year before she died or if it was her other house that sold a couple of years ago. I will have to check it out. Thanks 😎👍
It’s funny, as I’m watching your video, I still get the city of Palm Springs police dept road closures messages and there quite a few today. I also had the same issues with cell phone coverage in the canyons, I’d be driving and no signal. Really enjoying your latest series of going through the neighborhoods. Keith
Hi Keith, we've had so much rain this year already!! I'm surprised that any of the roads are still open lol. This was my first time with no cell reception. I thought my phone broke. :-O
Love those homes..I like grass, smells so nice when it's cut..yes that was cheetahs house from tarzan..thanks for the tour..always wanted to live in the Addams house
Great walking tour Steve! The House of Tomorrow is on the Mod Week tour and we are pretty stoked to see it. We walked by in October and construction was pretty crazy at that time. Very nice to see where Cindy Williams lived, I had no idea!
Really enjoy your vlogs! Always informative and presented well. Thanks for all the work you put into them. Sure wouldn't want to live on that busy and noisy street. The houses look so close to the street
I love the use of "Breeze Blocks" in the Mid-Century Modern homes. The Addams Family was created by a cartoonist named Charles Addams. Charles was a student at the University of Pennsylvania, which is a few blocks from my house. Addams endowed the university's arts department and in return the university named it's Fine Arts Building after Addams. There is a sculpture of Gomez, Morticia, Lurch, Uncle Fester, and the others in front of the building.
Enjoyed this so much Steve!!❤Thank you for the star studded home tours .🤩How awesome that your. grandparents lived way up there in the mountains ⛰. I remember you talked about your childhood memories visiting your grandparents during your summer vacations with your brothers.⛰⛰⛰⛰⛰⛰🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝 About how far is this area from where you and Jim reside? About how long of a drive ? Till next time! 🐊🦩
Thanks for sharing these with us, Steve. Our New Jersey weather‘s been crazy too. One day it’s freezing cold & the next day we get near 50°.🥶🥵 By the way, has anybody ever said anything to you when they noticed that you’re filming their home? I hope not! 🤔🏠🌴
Sorry to hear that you are getting wacky weather too Maryann! 🤪 it’s funny you should ask that question. It’s one of my pet peeves. No matter where I film I get nosy busybodies asking me what I’m doing and why I’m doing it and trying to stop me from filming. So far no one has ever told me I can’t film the sunrise or the sunset, but I’m sure there will come a day when someone will try to stop me from doing that too. Minding their own business is not something most people like to do lol! 😳😆👍
That first road you were on Steve was more like a freeway. I like the look of a desert community but wouldn't want to live in one. Growing up in San Diego we had green grass and hedges of course. I just like seeing green where I live but in a desert setting, it doesn't make sense. Hope you and Jim are well. ♥️🇺🇸🌈
Great walk around Steve! It’s interesting that Cassandra Peterson had John Paragon’s ashes for awhile. What was their relationship, and why & how did she get his ashes?
Have been watching you for a few years and enjoy your tours around Palm Spring and outside your area. Love the mid 50's homes. Are most homes in Palm Spring one level homes?
Glad you like them Michael. Yes, most are single story, but that is starting to change a little bit now that a lot more people are moving here and land is becoming more scarce.
Thanks for the tour! I was curious and googled about Cheeta. I had no idea he lived there, and only passed away in 2022. I sure hope they don’t tear down Dean’s house. I look forward to checking things out myself later this year. Have you ever taken that walking tour you saw? Would be interesting to see what they say.
Hi LisaMarie, I thought about it but it was kind of expensive and I’ve already been to all of the houses. I think it’s really care mostly for people from out of town who aren’t familiar with their celebrity homes here. If they were visiting the interiors then I would definitely take it. 😎👍
The original "Elvis honeymoon" estate included those two parcels of land on either side and used to have tennis courts. They were eventually sold/subdivided and homes were put on them. Two new homes eventually are going to be built there. I went into the Elvis home on one of those mid century week tours in 2022. It's been remodeled on the inside and was recently sold to Nancy Cirillo, a former owner of a women's activewear line, for 5.65 million.
Hey Steve, it seems like you've been doing a bunch of local videos lately (which have been SO fun). Are you saving/resting up for another cross-country trip this spring/summer?
My Dad work at the Howard Manors, as a waiter from the mid-fifties, till the late sixties! Then work at Jillies till his passing, at the end of the seventies 😬
I've been looking for a "Love American Style" episode with Carolyn Jones and Red Buttons where Carolyn walks in on her husband (Red) who is getting a Japanese massage as she walks on his back. It's a great episode with those 2.
I used to see some of my favorites TV shows from the 60s and 70s:The Addams Family, The Munsters, BATMAN, Bewitched, Beverly Hillbillies, The Flying Nun,Hazel,I Dream of Jeannie...etc I loved Morticia Addams Carolyn Jones she also played Queen Hippoylta from Wonder WOMAN and Marsha,Queen of Diamonds 💎 on BATMAN she then played Morticia on an episode of The Scooby-Doo MOVIES and my favorite lines of hers was " Isn't that Sweet "& " Bubbala to Gomez
Auntie G and "Uncle Fester" appeared in the very same episode each on a couple of TV programs: the crime drama "The Brothers Brannagan", and the legal-themed "Perry Mason". (I'm trusting that they worked together @ some point eye-to-eye, although I personally have never viewed either show and therefore not quite so certain.)
Always great movie and tv trivia Craig. I've never even heard of the first show. I bet some viewers here will now try to find and watch those shows. Hopefully they'll share with us here. Thanks Craig! :-)
Hey Steve! You seem like a really nice guy. I am headed to Palm Springs in 9 days. I hope the flood warning doesn’t affect you! My family and I need to start packing soon! We are not prepped lol! Also, I have a video idea. You should go on a walking spree to the trails or the Boomers Mini Golf! Wanted to say, my condo is a condo area with pools and a grill and bar with 5 pickleball courts. I don’t want to reveal the address only if I can talk to you privately, in are neighborhood, the gold club is named the Cathedral City Canyon Golf Club, are condo area is in there!
Hi Folic, I haven’t been mini golfing since I was a kid. That would be fun to do again. Thanks for the suggestion. And I do like to hike some of the trails here. I will definitely do that at some point too. If you want to send a private message to me you can do that on my Instagram page @steveinpalmspringca . Hopefully all the rain will be past us by the time you arrive for your visit. 😎👍
Enjoyed the mid century modern homes! I’m with you Steve. No need for grass in the desert. The rocks and pebbles looked so clean and natural in that setting. Thank you for sharing the history and rich environment that is Palm Springs!💞
Glad you enjoyed it Susan! 😎👍
@steveinpalmspSteve, when u used to work , what did u do ?
I agree. Grass is off putting in the desert. The parks grass is OK, but in front of desert houses it seems out of place.
I used to watch The Adams Family as a kid and loved The Munsters The Monkees and Saturday morning TV shows ! I used to watch HR Puffin Stuff Lidsville and Land of the Lost and The Bugaloos ! I watched Adams Family and The Munsters in the 60s and the other Marty Kroft shows from age 14 till they ended !
Addams family has it's own channel stream on Pluto TV.
That was awesome. Me too, big fan of Laverne and Shirley. Loved them
Funny funny show
Desert landscaping makes the most sense in Palm Springs and the surrounding communities. Work with beautiful natural vegetation rather than try to make the desert into something it’s not.

The lending library for such a great ideas. I wonder who the first start of that. Thanks for sharing with us Paul! 😎👍
Steve it's fascinating to see how Palm Springs is making a Herculean effort to preserve it's celebrity history. Wow🤩
When I was a kid I wanted to live with the Addams Family. Loving your videos Steve. I only get to PS a couple times a year, watching your videos is the next best thing, ❤😊
Glad you like them Bach! 😎👍
Hi Steve great memories for me the good old days. Good video there! ✌🏼❤️📺

In the desert it doesn't rain much and it doesn't snow, so the roofs are flat. There isn't really an attic either, and basements are rare.

Never have I had much interest in "Mid-Century Modern" homes.. until now, seeing how Unusual they can be. The Hard Landscaping is so Pretty too. Mid-Century Modern always reminds me of "The Brady Bunch" house. ha
Exactly! The Brady house was a great example on the inside. The exterior wasn't mid mod as much as the home in Palm Springs, but still nice.
The Brady Bunch house was a split story early 1960s contemporary house. I toured a house that was for sale, and the master bedroom had a bathroom with a tiled tub you stepped down into. I was told it was common in these mid century homes.
Google the Brady Bunch house. It was for sale not that long ago, and I believe the new owner revived that 1960s look inside.
Terrific video Steve! We loved pee wee s playhouse here in this house :) As a young Canadian girl I often was "California dreaming" thanks for bringing some of it to life!

I wondered if you knew Scott Michaels since he also lives in Palm Springs. I enjoy his videos.

One of these days, I would like to take a historical tour of them. Last year I took a bus tour of some of the homes around downtown Palm Springs and it was interesting but it was a very chilly day. Stay dry Steve, I hear this storm is going to be bigger than the last.
Hi Amy, I can't believe how much rain we are getting!! I guess we can use it though. Better than a draught. If you into walking, you can always join me on a future neighborhood walk. Just text me. :-)
@@steveinpalmspringsca I don't know where to text you? I am even having trouble figuring out how to send a DM on Instagram. 😂
Steve thank you so much for this video. I have been wondering about Elvis and Dean Martin's houses since you showed them last. I hope they don't demolish Dean's home. I am a big Dean Martin fan..lol. Of course, I was also an Elvis fan...who wasn't back then..lol. I love these videos where you show us PS. It brings back so many memories of our vacation there in 2021.
Glad you enjoyed it Darlene! Fingers crossed they don't tear it down. I think most of the town would show up and chain themselves to the house to prevent it lol. :-)
I’m glad I’m not the only one who still gets splotchy cell service!!! 😅
I was really surprised. That’s the first time that happened to me in Palm Springs! 😳
Loved the Adams Family ...
Thank you for the Tour and down memory lane. The homes are so different from ours in the UK. Wish we had the sunshine 🌞 like Palm Springs ...
Keep making your videos Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it Rose! :-)
I love these walks. It is very interesting to me because I have always lived on the east coast and the homes and desert landscape of Palm Springs makes me feel like it's another planet.
Glad you like them Deborah. And yes, it does look like another planet compared to other parts of the country in the world lol! 😂👍
Such beautiful place. Like a dream.
😎👍
Hi. Love the old shows on tv...Munsters.. Laverne and Shirley.. The Monkees.. etc... .the homes are all beautiful and so different to us here . Nice ... Palm Springs knows how to landscape . Nice day in the neighborhood..it's very fine . Thanks for a great vlog........ Deborah 🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it Deborah!
Hi Steve, thanks for the tour. I like to explore further the home you showcase by going on to Zillow, finding the home and hopefully there are pics of the inside. As someone from Palm Springs, I also like to drive to a neighborhood and walk that area. Thanks again.
Hi Mark, I do that sometimes too. Zillow is definitely the next best thing to taking an interior tour in person! :-)
I just love your walk and talks!!! It gives those of us far away and in the midst of winter a glimpse of paradise! And it gives us an idea of places to drive by or stroll when we do return. Thank you!!!
Glad you enjoy it CK! 😎😳
As always, Thank You for this great video, Steve! Waking up every day of your life and seeing those beautiful homes and spectacular views of the mountains is a real blessing!
I agree L, it sure is and I don’t take it for granted! 😎👍
Steve, I appreciate your videos so much! I was raised in Palm Springs. In about 10 years, my husband and I will be moving back to Palm Springs. For retirement. I cannot wait! We visit quite often, but, can’t wait to be a full timer, again. ❤️☀️ I love your videos and reliving some of the old streets and places you visit. I love how you visit old movie star homes, etc. I also LOVE mid century and desert landscape is my favorite, too. Keep up the awesome work, I appreciate you so much!❤️✌🏼☀️
Glad you enjoy the videos Carla. That's awesome that you grew up here and are able to come back to retire here. It's a pretty special place to retire! :-)
Very nice Steve
Thanks Carol!
Good morning, Steve! Thank you so much for this neighborhood tour. Oh yes..I was a big Adam’s Family fan; watched it all the time as a kid. This will make for a nice walk from our place by the casino .
We did end up coming to Palm Springs for 3 days. Our place is officially set up! That is good as I am tired of doing work on every visit. Sorry I didn’t reach out for a walk. My wife has a surgery this Monday, so we needed to get back to CO before the weather set in, and get her ready for that.
Hi Alan, one of these days we can get together for a walk around one of our many neighborhoods here in Palm Springs. I hope your wife’s surgery is not something too serious. Best of luck to her! 🤞👍
I love these walks with you Steve! I want to relocate there!!!
Thanks, Michael. Nice to hear that. 😎👍
I got to visit there once for 2 weeks . I loved it there. I love watching these videos. My son still lives there and he loves it. He no longer likes his hometown (ohio) winters!
Tons of fun! A great adventure. Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it David! 😎👍
Wow, the views of those mountains are awe- inspiring!! I used to think I didn’t like the desert landscaping I guess because I grew up with grass but some of those examples are beautiful. Less maintenance as well. My granddaughter lives in El Paso and has desert landscaping in the front yard, I’m going to have her watch this so she can get some ideas. Thanks for another great walk! PS Your eye is looking much better.
El Paseo is a very nice area too. Thanks Peggy. 😎👍
@@steveinpalmspringsca Sorry I didn’t make myself clear. I meant El Paso Texas.
I love the MCM homes. Carolyn Jones was from Amarillo, TX. I did not know she passed on so many years ago.
I have to admit, I never heard of any of these actors!🤔 I guess my only excuse can be that I didn't live or grow up in the U.S. in the 1950's or 60's although I had heard of the Addams Family!! Nevertheless, I'm enjoying the walk through this lovely sun soaked blue skies neighborhood! But the leaf blowers....!! how annoying are those! Alot of noice signifying nothing and I believe county by county in California gradually they are being replaced by electric powered blowers which are much quieter and we already have them here in Santa Cruz being used by city workers.👏 Once again Steve, thanks for taking us along on your walk!👍
Thanks for coming along Catherine. The real stars of these neighborhoods really are the homes. And Palm Springs passed a law a few years ago that only electric leaf blowers are allowed, but they don’t seem to enforce that law at all unfortunately! 😩
One of my favorite videos of yours.
That’s nice to hear Shawn! 😎👍
Thanks!
Hi Nancy, this is so generous and kind of you. Once again, you'll be getting a shout out in an upcoming video. Have a great weekend! :-)
Oh wow, this has been my favorite of your neighborhood walking videos so far. Beautiful neighborhood -- so many good ideas for my own desert front yard!
Thanks Betsy. Glad you enjoyed it! 😎👍
I love your walks! I'm looking forward to your next!
Thanks Joan. Glad you like them! :-)
More Stevie Babie Walks! ..................... Please !!!
Coming up 😄👍
Love your videos where you go walking. I really liked this tour. 😊
Glad you like them Renee. 😎👍
Great video! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for coming along LD! Glad you enjoyed it! 😎👍
Thank you for the tours Steve 😊
Glad you enjoy them Dawn! 😎👍
Good morning Steve, I saw on Facebook the other day Suzanne Summers’s house is up for sale for $9 million in Palm Springs. That’s a lot of money ain’t it hope you have a wonderful day. God bless Karen Gregar.
Hi Karen, thanks for letting me know. I wonder if it was the house she bought a year before she died or if it was her other house that sold a couple of years ago. I will have to check it out. Thanks 😎👍
Great tour Steve
Thanks Spencer 😎👍
It’s funny, as I’m watching your video, I still get the city of Palm Springs police dept road closures messages and there quite a few today. I also had the same issues with cell phone coverage in the canyons, I’d be driving and no signal. Really enjoying your latest series of going through the neighborhoods. Keith
Hi Keith, we've had so much rain this year already!! I'm surprised that any of the roads are still open lol. This was my first time with no cell reception. I thought my phone broke. :-O
Love those homes..I like grass, smells so nice when it's cut..yes that was cheetahs house from tarzan..thanks for the tour..always wanted to live in the Addams house
Thanks for watching Lisa!
Great walking tour Steve! The House of Tomorrow is on the Mod Week tour and we are pretty stoked to see it. We walked by in October and construction was pretty crazy at that time. Very nice to see where Cindy Williams lived, I had no idea!
I took a tour of Elvis' honeymoon house years ago and it was awesome. I've heard they remodeled inside. Enjoy the tour and let us know what you think.
@@steveinpalmspringsca Will do Steve!
Really enjoy your vlogs! Always informative and presented well. Thanks for all the work you put into them. Sure wouldn't want to live on that busy and noisy street. The houses look so close to the street
Glad you like them West!
When I saw "Casa Cheeta" I was like, Ooh!, Ooh!, Ooh!
John Paragon was also very good in "Eating Raoul"!
Yes, he was in some pretty good movies. Thanks for mentioning that Gail. 😎👍
Great video Steve I enjoyed this video
Glad you enjoyed it Syreeta! 😎👍
Great tour😊😊
Thank you David! 😁
I love the use of "Breeze Blocks" in the Mid-Century Modern homes. The Addams Family was created by a cartoonist named Charles Addams. Charles was a student at the University of Pennsylvania, which is a few blocks from my house. Addams endowed the university's arts department and in return the university named it's Fine Arts Building after Addams. There is a sculpture of Gomez, Morticia, Lurch, Uncle Fester, and the others in front of the building.
Wow, I've never seen that sculpture. Sounds cool. What a small world!
It's crazy that celebrities used to live so modestly.
I know, right? 😎👍
For some it was a second home. A place to run to from Hollywood and have amazing sunny and warm days in the winter. 😊😊
Actor Edward Faulkner who was in a lot of John Wayne movies supposedly lives in Palm Springs.
I wouldn't be surprised. Many Hollywood actors eventually move here. Thanks for sharing that with us Pat!
Enjoyed this so much Steve!!❤Thank you for the star studded home tours .🤩How awesome that your. grandparents lived way up there in the mountains ⛰. I remember you talked about your childhood memories visiting your grandparents during your summer vacations with your brothers.⛰⛰⛰⛰⛰⛰🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝 About how far is this area from where you and Jim reside? About how long of a drive ? Till next time! 🐊🦩
Hi Kat, we live just a few miles from where my grandparents lived. I can walk there in about 15 to 20 minutes. 😎👍
Oh cool 😎 thank you for your reply Steve 👍💕. 🐊🦩
Thanks for sharing these with us, Steve. Our New Jersey weather‘s been crazy too. One day it’s freezing cold & the next day we get near 50°.🥶🥵
By the way, has anybody ever said anything to you when they noticed that you’re filming their home? I hope not! 🤔🏠🌴
Sorry to hear that you are getting wacky weather too Maryann! 🤪 it’s funny you should ask that question. It’s one of my pet peeves. No matter where I film I get nosy busybodies asking me what I’m doing and why I’m doing it and trying to stop me from filming. So far no one has ever told me I can’t film the sunrise or the sunset, but I’m sure there will come a day when someone will try to stop me from doing that too. Minding their own business is not something most people like to do lol! 😳😆👍
@@steveinpalmspringsca agreed. ☺️
I have met Eddie Munster before and got a picture with him. I think it was last summer in Springfield, Illinois.
That is awesome Sheila. 😎👍
That first road you were on Steve was more like a freeway. I like the look of a desert community but wouldn't want to live in one. Growing up in San Diego we had green grass and hedges of course. I just like seeing green where I live but in a desert setting, it doesn't make sense. Hope you and Jim are well. ♥️🇺🇸🌈
It's funny how some people don't mind living on very loud, busy streets. I've known some people who say they prefer it lol. :-O Thanks! :-)
Where Cindy Williams lived, I see green grass. Was this real grass or artificial turf?
Thanks for the adventure! Keep up good work!
Hi Stacy, it was real grass. Thanks 😎👍
Great walk around Steve! It’s interesting that Cassandra Peterson had John Paragon’s ashes for awhile. What was their relationship, and why & how did she get his ashes?
Apparently they were very good friends, along with Reubens. He must have had her in his will as the executor or who he wanted to have his ashes.
Have been watching you for a few years and enjoy your tours around Palm Spring and outside your area. Love the mid 50's homes. Are most homes in Palm Spring one level homes?
Glad you like them Michael. Yes, most are single story, but that is starting to change a little bit now that a lot more people are moving here and land is becoming more scarce.
Thanks for the tour! I was curious and googled about Cheeta. I had no idea he lived there, and only passed away in 2022. I sure hope they don’t tear down Dean’s house. I look forward to checking things out myself later this year. Have you ever taken that walking tour you saw? Would be interesting to see what they say.
Hi LisaMarie, I thought about it but it was kind of expensive and I’ve already been to all of the houses. I think it’s really care mostly for people from out of town who aren’t familiar with their celebrity homes here. If they were visiting the interiors then I would definitely take it. 😎👍
The original "Elvis honeymoon" estate included those two parcels of land on either side and used to have tennis courts. They were eventually sold/subdivided and homes were put on them. Two new homes eventually are going to be built there. I went into the Elvis home on one of those mid century week tours in 2022. It's been remodeled on the inside and was recently sold to Nancy Cirillo, a former owner of a women's activewear line, for 5.65 million.
Thanks for the update BBB 😎👍
Hey Steve, it seems like you've been doing a bunch of local videos lately (which have been SO fun). Are you saving/resting up for another cross-country trip this spring/summer?
Hi Lacey, thanks for the great question. I will answer it in an upcoming Q&A video. :-)
My Dad work at the Howard Manors, as a waiter from the mid-fifties, till the late sixties! Then work at Jillies till his passing, at the end of the seventies 😬
Thanks for sharing that with us Frank! 👍
I've been looking for a "Love American Style" episode with Carolyn Jones and Red Buttons where Carolyn walks in on her husband (Red) who is getting a Japanese massage as she walks on his back. It's a great episode with those 2.
I used to see some of my favorites TV shows from the 60s and 70s:The Addams Family, The Munsters, BATMAN, Bewitched, Beverly Hillbillies, The Flying Nun,Hazel,I Dream of Jeannie...etc
I loved Morticia Addams Carolyn Jones she also played Queen Hippoylta from Wonder WOMAN and Marsha,Queen of Diamonds 💎 on BATMAN she then played Morticia on an episode of The Scooby-Doo MOVIES and my favorite lines of hers was " Isn't that Sweet "& " Bubbala to Gomez
Did you know she was married to Aaron Spelling but she had no kids by him
😄👍
Yes, I think I mentioned that when I visited her gravesite. I shared that video on my other channel. Thanks for sharing that with us here though! 👍
YW kind sir
That is the home where Cheeta lived! :)
Yes, I found out later! 😎👍
Auntie G and "Uncle Fester" appeared in the very same episode each on a couple of TV programs: the crime drama "The Brothers Brannagan", and the legal-themed "Perry Mason". (I'm trusting that they worked together @ some point eye-to-eye, although I personally have never viewed either show and therefore not quite so certain.)
Always great movie and tv trivia Craig. I've never even heard of the first show. I bet some viewers here will now try to find and watch those shows. Hopefully they'll share with us here. Thanks Craig! :-)
Hey Steve! You seem like a really nice guy. I am headed to Palm Springs in 9 days. I hope the flood warning doesn’t affect you! My family and I need to start packing soon! We are not prepped lol! Also, I have a video idea. You should go on a walking spree to the trails or the Boomers Mini Golf!
Wanted to say, my condo is a condo area with pools and a grill and bar with 5 pickleball courts. I don’t want to reveal the address only if I can talk to you privately, in are neighborhood, the gold club is named the Cathedral City Canyon Golf Club, are condo area is in there!
Hi Folic, I haven’t been mini golfing since I was a kid. That would be fun to do again. Thanks for the suggestion. And I do like to hike some of the trails here. I will definitely do that at some point too. If you want to send a private message to me you can do that on my Instagram page @steveinpalmspringca . Hopefully all the rain will be past us by the time you arrive for your visit. 😎👍
