I don't mean this in a snarky way but when I heard a memorial was in the park I hadn't expected much - perhaps a plaque or two. But this space is really impressive. Very sobering and contemplative to be there. While it's not a huge space, there are several areas and artistic depictions of the Holocaust. The piece at the center is so very well done - a star of David with representations of victims, a map and a count of the number of those killed in each country. As one of the plaques says, "Never Again."

Due to the latest round of California Corona Virus regulation, Southern California is under a “stay at home” lockdown. Most activities have been shut down, or severely curtailed. Outdoor activities are currently authorized. Mask and social distancing are mandatory throughout Southern California. My mission is to observe and enjoy as many of the outdoor attractions as possible. Palm Springs is a large modern city with a multitude of things to see and do. Spread out along Palm Canyon Drive and the surrounding streets, one will find 6 amazing sculptures honoring Lucy Ball, Sonny Bono, and the Chairman of the Links. A Giant Spider, Babies and Isabelle round out the collection. Located in the walkway between Starbucks and the Kimpton Hotel is a larger-than-life sculpture of a young woman, named Isabelle. Both the “Little Mermaid” in Copenhagen, Denmark and “Isabelle in Palm Springs, California have remarkably similar poses. Both statues depict young women sitting on a rock and staring off into the distance. This is the most amazing sculpture in Palm Springs and possible the entire world. This outstanding statue by artist Julian Voss-Andreas is made of thin polished stainless-steel sheets which glimmer in the sunlight. As a result, when viewing Isabelle from different angles, she appears to be a solid statue. However, if you view her head on, she disappears into thin air. Truly astonishing. Strongly recommend all Palm Springs visitors venture over to Tahquitz Canyon Way to view this remarkable sight. Viewing this sculpture is an extraordinary experience that should not be missed.

Eisenhower fought against the WWII. He worked hard for that! We now have a reminder of Eisenhower. They named the walk of honor. Eisenhower is showed way attractive. He is wortwhile. However there were other heroes: William L MC Conagle, James L. Day. Robert Fugene Bush. We salute Eisenhower .A hero! I liked that walk of honor. A must see!

This monument is attractive. It has a huge boulder. It is dedicated to the Firefighters and the sheriff. This was made at the Department of Foresty. They named it: Dedication, Courage and honor. Worthwhile to see!
