MARCH 5-18, 2012


A report recently released indicated the 2011 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Ca attracted 350,086 people  and put $289.9 million into the Palm Springs area economy last March.It is an increase of about $188 million from 2001 when the first report was complied.

This approaches Super Bowl proportions, not bad for our little valley of 320,000 folk's!

This is the most attended tennis tournament outside of the four Grand Slams and continues to grow.
As a tennis fan and player I am very excited to have the opportunity to have this type of premier tennis event in our backyard.


It does not get better than this for avid tennis player's along with the social tennis crowd!


 I can play tennis at Palm Desert Tennis Club in the morning and be at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells in 15 minutes !!
Every year the new owner Larry Ellison spends the funds to make the event even better.
Looking at these numbers you better think about booking a room early if you can still find something available.
It is only October and the valley is active . Lot's of snowbirds are coming back for the season ready to enjoy another great season in the desert.

Palm Desert New Aquatic Center

 The Desert Sun reported  about  14,000 people have passed through the gate of Palm Desert's new aquatic center since it opened three and a half weeks ago. In addition money is spent on food at the concession stand. . My husband and I took a walk around the scenic Palm Desert  park and stopped by to look at the pool about 7:00 pm one night  . We found  children sliding down the slides , water polo matches, and areas where you can swim laps. The entrance of Palm trees is so very impressive so if you are in the area make sure you stop by . 



Daily admission to the center, at 73-751 Magnesia Falls Drive, ranges from $2.50 to $6, depending on age and if you are a resident of Palm Desert. The Y also sells pool passes that range in price from $94 for a 25-use card to $825 for an adult annual pass for nonresidents.

What a wonderful addition to Palm Desert and the valley !! .
