Yep...spent many a spring break down in Palm Springs. I remember all those places...especially the dinosaur statues. My very first radio job was in Indio.

Before they built the casino, there were one or two huge signs by the freeway bemoaning the plight of the Morongo tribe that had its reservation there, implying that they were screwed over, etc.

Funny how when the casino went up, the signs came down almost immediately. I guess when the Indians started raking in cash from gamblers, life didn't seem so unfair anymore.

I was in Oatman AZ recently and struck up a conversation with a gentleman of Native American heritage. We talked a good long while and he talked a lot about his tribe (which I don’t remember) but what I do remember is when talking about the Indians’ plight in general, he smiled and said, “We got our revenge. Casinos.”

Date Festival FTW! If you haven't had a date shake in Indio, you've missed out.

I get my Date Shakes at Hadley’s which incidentally is in Cabezon right next to the Wheel Inn and the dinosaur. Been going there for years. Stop every time I am passing through.

I was trying to think of that place. I would make my buddies stop every time.

Actually, I had better. I...ahem..."dated" the date festival princess one year. So, in theory, you could say that I had a date shake. Or several.
