I recognized everything in the video having lived in Palm Springs for about the first 20 years of my life (1969-1987). Seeing Bob Hope´s home on the hillside made me remember when it burned down during construction. We had a clear view of it from where we lived.

Any relation to older sister Leslie?

[@gruntball]

@@waynewilliams839 Yes, Leslee is my older sister. From your birthyear, I guess you probably went to Palm Springs High together. I would still have been at Cahuilla Elementary School at that time.

[@davidadams6945]

@@waynewilliams839 Yes, she did catering for many years, now she dedicates her time more to artwork.

Brings back so many memories having a vacation home in the 70s.

I'd be willing to put money on that the white and brown Country Squire that passes the film maker on the right when they are going by the Sunair Drive-In and Market Basket in Cat City is being driven by one of my relatives. Most of my family lived in the cove at that time and we had a Country Squire just like that, I spent a lot of time riding in those back fold up seats as a kid and saw a lot of movies at that drive-in.

Ps before moving there in 75.... I saw Uncle Don's!! Used to go in there alot when I was a kid. We used to shop at that Vons also at the Smoke Tree Shopping Center on Sunrise. Loved escaping to the Tramway for the day after I learned how to drive.... The good old days before PS got to crowded...

Back when beautiful Palm Springs was still full of life.

[@mxnfx]

To think when this film was made, all the great Actors were still alive, and living in Palm Springs.........

[@PeterMcDonald-sl9rt]

How many of us, would go back THERE, to stay, in about TWO SECONDS ?!?

[@waynewilliams839]

Oops78😊

[@alainvosselman9960]

This footage is just begging to be restored. Wish i had the skills and tools.

[@leatherman88ch]

Is that always the Vons or was that where the ralfs took over

[@davidtang4648]

Terrible quality

[@tygertone]

Where's Vegas? This is all PS.

[@historymatters3103]

Sorry for the error. The towns names were written on the film canister. I've never been there so did not have a clue.

[@tygertone]

@@historymatters3103 Well, they're both desert cities. I've been to both, but i guess it's different if you've never been! Thanks.

The footage of Las Vegas was actually very brief. It's almost all in and around Palm Springs.
