Steve.... Happy Valentines Day to you and your husband. May the two of you have a splendid sweethearts day. Now that football is over I feel lost. Oh well the NFL draft is just around the corner. Please keep making these great video. Until later... .
I absolutely love how Ken took his condo back to the mid century look! It is like stepping back in time, fabulous! The grounds are fabulous. And how fantastic that a second edition book is in the works! Hope you and Jim had a great Valentine's Day. Peace...
Hi Stacy, I know, he did a great job. And that’s what I love so much about mid-century modern homes, they really are like taking a Time Machine back in time! 😄👍
Steve... Happy Valentines Day to you and your husband. May the two of you have a loving sweethearts day. Football season is over for this year. Oh well onto baseball next. Stay safe and please keep making these great videos.
Hi William, lol you are a very good memory. I shared this video on my other channel a couple of years ago. But since that channel is only graveyards now I thought I would share the video on this channel instead, since there are lots of viewers here that I’ve never seen my other channel. 😄👍
OMGosh! Once again, I just love the tours!! I also love mid-century modern and I'd love to start moving in that direction, but having some help with design ideas is something I could really use. Ken's condo is really great, and completely different from the previous owners. First, it's amazing what paint can do, and just the addition of a few pieces just makes such a difference. The landscaping is gorgeous!!
Loved this video !! There’s nothing like mid century modern. I grew up in one as a 1957 mid century girl myself! Lol. I enjoyed the three of you talking about everything. Robert Cummings was my neighbor when I lived in a condo in Nassau Bahamas. Wonderful man and he and my parents became friends. I just love Ken’s condo and those lush grounds! Thank you so much, Steve ❤
You keep surprising me with different content and I think I like it! (yes Subscribed a couple back) Never heard of the Coco property while living there but I'm glad to see that Ken remodeled his condo back to it's roots. Very nicely done. The book looks great too, I'll have to check that out as well. Oh, glad to hear you say "poodle cut" olive tree. I thought I was the only one that called it that! I had one in front of my Mid Century and to me it made the front yard. Thanks to Ken and Chris for sharing their time and space with you for this video. Keep surprising me Steve!
Interesting video Steve. You have to be the right kind of person to love mid-century modern. I still have my parent's mid-century side tables and coffee table. We bumped our heads on those tables but they still look great! Happy Valentine's day to you and Jim! ♥️😘
ya know steve all ur videos are great..really .but its you that make this channel great,,you let us in you life.But there is nothing better then when you sink your teeth into a juicy story!! you are a master story teller..I lost my dad 2 days ago and im a mess..your last vid gave me almost 1/2 hr of piece ..I hope for you..that in your time of need someone gives it to you..and pls keep em comming..and take care
Hi Christopher, that’s so nice of you to say. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have lots of good memories of your dad to help you through this difficult time. 🥲💙
Hey Roberto, do you have a good memory. I originally shared this on my other channel 2 years ago. But when I change the channel to gravesites only I deleted it. I thought I would share it on this channel since this is my Palm Springs channel and most people here have it seen that video yet. 😎👍
I love all your video's and have been watching for years. This one takes the cake. I absolutely love this one!! Thanks for taking us along with you on your walks and trips. See you next time💜
Hello Steve and Jim! Thank you so much for highlighting this Coco Cabana condo complex! What a nice and peaceful place. It was awesome to get a glimpse at your friends, Ken and Chris, too! They seem super nice. The book looks really interesting too!
Hi Alan, if you ever want to give me a tour of your condo too, just let me know. I bet a lot of viewers would be very interested to know what a downtown Palm Springs condo looks like! 😊👍
@@theretiredlifewithsteve Hi Steve! That sounds really awesome. It would be really fun to do with you. They would be a stones throw away from some Mimosa's, Martinis, and Music with Don Wardell over at the Aqua Caliente Casino hehehehe. (they should pay me for that plug hehehe)....and 3 stone throws away from the downtown Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon Drives where a lot of the action is. As always, I'll try to coordinate with you when we are in town.
Another great backstory video! The Coco Cabana is beautiful and deserves to be maintained with its history intact. Cannot wait to see it for myself someday. ❤️ Paul
What I always love about Palm Springs MCM architecture, low, flat buildings set amongst lush landscaping and tall palm trees. You just don't see that anywhere else, including here in Las Vegas to where grass is pretty much on its way out.
I never lived in a condo but my Uncle Ed age going on 97 he has a huge condo in Barryton Illinois .Uncle Ed takes care of himself has someone clean for him he drives to church or where ever plays golf tennis and is very active ! He is my Mom s and Aunt Mary s brother !
Steve, around the 11 minute mark you mentioned Cindy Williams possibly still owning a home in PS. Fyi, just a reminder that Cindy passed just over a year ago. This was a great video, really enjoyed seeing the Coco (that view is stunning) and now I'm jealous that a fellow Canadian owns a condo there!
Great video Steve and I’ll be looking for the book. I redid my Palm Springs same era condo in MCM style in another part of town and am looking forward to being a volunteer at a few activities for Modernism week in a few days!
Just arrived in Palm Springs yesterday, I had some fun, might’ve gotten heatstroke as I’m not used to the hot weather! 😅 I did get a tour of the airplane cockpit with my son, it was an Embrader 175.
Yeah, I totally forgot St. Valentine’s Day. Happy St. Valentine’s Day Steve and Jim, and Happy St. Valentine’s Day to anyone reading this. Hope you had a great day.❤.
Steve Maybe you can help me remember.? Wasn't there a song by Barry Manilow with a similar name? I wonder if Barry got the name from a night club or this development?
Hi Jan, you have a very good memory. I did post it almost 2 years ago on my other channel, before it became exclusively the graveyard channel. I deleted it there but decided to share it here since most of the viewers on this channel don’t watch the other channel. And this is my Palm Springs channel. sorry for the re-run. 😎👍
Steve what do new homes in a nice neighborhood go for ? Not a movie star home but a nice neighborhood.... Do they have 2 bedrooms??? I would want a home and not a condo... More of a get away home. My regular home is in the Bay Area...
Hi B, prices have gone up so much in Palm Springs in the past 10 years. I don’t think you can find anything halfway decent for under 500,000 anywhere in Palm Springs and that might even be a fixer! 😳
certainly, Ken is flogging everything but the kitchen sink. I think he should get a job if he needs the money. nice to see pools and courts were de riguer cheers!!!!
Hi Tigger, you have a good memory. Before I changed my other channels name to focus exclusively on the graveyard channel, I shared it there. Once I changed the focus on that channel I deleted it so I thought I would share it on this channel which is my Palm Springs channel. 😎👍
Considering the tyrannical housing shortages in California and Vancouver, how about both places stop letting foreigners buy up the available homes? Are retired folks so obliviously satisfied with the predatory economics they perpetuated they can hoard housing meant for younger generations to raise families in?
Great Video Steve. Happy Valentine's Day to you and Jim. God Bless and take care my Friend.
Happy Valentine’s Day Shannon! 😄💝👍

Cool
Lovely condo. So bright and colorful.
Great tour. I have his book. Thank you
That’s awesome Wil. 😎👍
Am I losing more of my mind or did you feature Ken and his books on the local architecture? Maybe not, but so fascinating and beautiful...thanks!

@@theretiredlifewithsteveah that explains why you were talking about Cindy Williams as if she was still alive! I was a bit curious about that. 😅
@@theretiredlifewithsteve maybe that's why I can't find the "links [below]" referenced by you in the video....
I want to move to Palm Springs and marry this guy. .... Another great video Steve.
Lol glad you enjoyed it Spencer! 😎👍
Yay! A new video with a tour! Thank you!
Hope you enjoyed it Sharon! 😎👍

I love MCM 💕 I would love a project like this condo was. Beautiful!

Enjoyed again, Steve, I think Barry Manilow wrote or sang a song, Co Co Cobana

@@theretiredlifewithsteve you're right! Still a favorite of mine. Great video as always.
how much do those condos go for
I didn’t check, but I’m sure you could find out on Zillow. 👍
