Desert Modernists from Palm Springs and Las Vegas Meet to Share Passion for Preservation as part of Palm Springs Modern's annual tours.

Photo: PRWeb Palm Springs CA (PRWEB) May 28, 2013 Members of the Palm Springs Modern Committee http:// psmodcom .org recently met with a group of Las Vegas residents who are equally passionate about preserving mid-century modern architecture. A driving tour of Las Vegas' Paradise Palms neighborhood organized by "Uncle" Jack LeVine of Very Vintage Vegas took the special group past early 1960s modern tract homes designed by the firm of Palmer and Krisel. These are the same architects whose designs for the Alexander Construction Company in Palm Springs have become world renowned for their classic mid-century look. Paradise Palms http://www.VeryVintageVegas is ground zero for the growing movement in Las Vegas to celebrate and restore the city's surprisingly large inventory of postwar modern homes. Located not far from the Las Vegas strip, Paradise Palms shares a similar history of celebrity ownership as the Alexander Houses in Palm Springs. Some of Paradise Palms' more famous residents include Bobby Darin , Johnny Carson , Joe Louis , Phyllis Diller , Debbie Reynolds , Shecky Greene , Juliet Prowse , and Dionne Warwick .

Renovated Mountain View Course Open For Play

City of Palm Desert Attorney Renovated Mountain View Course Open For Play 11/01/09 Award winning golf has never been better, until now, thanks to the recently completed renovation of Desert Willow Golf Resort's acclaimed Mountain View Course. Over the last six months, the Mountain View Course's greens were recontoured and replanted. Bunker complexes were reconstructed with new drainage, fresh sand, and challenging design changes. The course's original architects, Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, conducted the more than $825,000 renovation, which included the expansion of some greens, restoration of lake edges, and upgrades to bunkers and desert waste areas to enhance their definition and aesthetics. The goal of the renovation was to improve the condition, playability, and appearance of the 6,913-yard course. http://attorney-in-palm-desert.com/ The project's obvious success is readily apparent throughout Mountain View's tees, fairways, and greens. Combined with Desert Willow's award winning Firecliff Course, the newly renovated Mountain View Course gives golfers a choice of two championship- courses and 36 holes of some of the most fun and breathtakingly beautiful golf available anywhere in the world.
