Other Links (On Scribd.com, someone who goes by the moniker dm1937 has uploaded complete scans of all 500+ Desert Magazines. This was a publication that started in El Centro but moved to Palm Desert when that town got its start. There is lots of great information about our area in those magazines, along with some great photos). (Ric Carter's website dedicated to the man who wanted to rename our county "Drywashbed County." Oliver was a 1000 Palms resident for many years, creating "Fort Oliver" by himself. He was one of the many desert characters to grace the county in the middle of the last century. Here you'll find links to much about him, including scanned copies of the "Desert Rat Scrapbook," which Harry published for many years).
(Tanya Sorrell's fantastic site dedicated to Mid-Century Modern architecture and design found throughout Riverside. It will give the most ardent detractor of this oft-maligned architectural style a good understanding of what makes it so important).
(The official site of the Vail Ranch Restoration Association in Temecula. This group, led by Darell and Rebecca Farnbach, has been instrumental in preserving one of the most important sites in the county's history). |
