The Coachella Valley And Why I Am Proud To Call It Home

 

The Coachella Valley Is A Beautiful And Interesting Area, Lets Explore Some Of the Cities And What Makes Them Great

Palm Springs

Originally home to the Cahuilla Indians, Palm Springs evolved into a playground for the stars such as Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Ginger Rogers and other celebrities of similar status and fame.

Boasting of natural attractions such as The Indian Canyon Falls, San Jacinto mountains easily accessed by The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, shopping at beautiful downtown Palm Springs, home to several film festivals, a weekly Villagefest, Modernism Week, and with a cornucopia of fine dining, Palm Springs is definitely a great city to visit and reside.

I Love You Coachella Valley

I’ve called The Coachella Valley home since 1979, I love the people, the weather, and the scenery of the area. We still have the small town feel with all the big city features and amenities. As a Window Cleaner, the area is ideal, with year round serviceable weather and residents that come from hard working backgrounds that understand and respect each and every individual. I just want to thank the Coachella Valley and its residents for everything they’ve done for me.
