TGIF folks! 'Tis the season for so many wonderful experiences for young and old, and we wanted to point out one that probably shouldn't be missed for the younger crowd: On Sunday from 12 p.m. until 2 p.m., Santa will be available for pictures (and perhaps some private conversations about what his elves can make for local children) at Downtown Park, 230 Museum Dr. The event is free and follows his appearance, along with Mrs. Claus, this evening at the annual holiday tree lighting. Tonight's event kicks off at 4 p.m.

The Desert Mountain View Business Park is planned on 217 acres of Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians trust land west of Tipton Road, south of Interstate 10 and north of Highway 111. |
2.85M-square-foot tribal warehouse plan heading to City Council for review |
|
The Palm Springs City Council will discuss a proposed 2.85 million-square-foot warehouse complex on tribal land at its Dec. 10 meeting, though the city has no authority to approve or deny it.
Driving the news: The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and developer Shopoff Realty Investments plan to build four massive warehouse buildings on 217 acres near Tipton Road, between Interstate 10 and Highway 111.
Why it matters: The development would become one of the Coachella Valley's largest logistics hubs and add to a growing cluster of warehouse projects already under construction on city land in north Palm Springs.
- Already planned in the nearby area are a 2 million-square-foot development across two buildings at Indian Canyon Drive and 18th Avenue, plus a 730,000-square-foot warehouse on 38 acres at Indian Canyon Drive and 19th Avenue.
The city's role: Palm Springs cannot regulate land use on tribal trust property. Instead, the council will vote on a conformity report analyzing traffic, infrastructure, air quality and public safety impacts.
What's next: The council will review the analysis and decide whether to transmit it to the Agua Caliente tribe at its next regular meeting Dec. 10.

A city commission is discussing how to go about splitting the city’s arts collection into two categories: one for commemorative or memorial pieces and another for public art. |
|
🖼️ Arts Commission begins weighing new rules to distinguish public art from memorial works
- The Palm Springs Public Arts Commission discussed a proposal Thursday to divide the city's art holdings into two categories: public art and commemorative or memorial pieces. The change follows a July decision to rename the collection as the Palm Springs Art and Culture Collection.
- A subcommittee reviewed public arts ordinances from 25 California cities and found few subdivide their collections, with Los Angeles and San Francisco being exceptions. Proposed eligibility criteria for commemorative works require subjects to have local or regional significance, with individuals deceased or events occurring at least five years prior.
- Bottom line: Any proposed commemorative works would still require Public Arts Commission approval and must go through the regular application process. The works must come from a formal gift, donation or commission, show adequate funding documentation and demonstrate meaningful public engagement.

AND FINALLY ... |

Billy Reed's, the Palm Springs time capsule where stained-glass lamps glow and a koi pond greets you at the door, celebrates 50 years of old-school hospitality on Sunday with champagne flowing all day.
Driving the news: The restaurant at 1800 North Palm Canyon Drive has been serving everything from breakfast-anytime to award-winning handmade desserts since Dec. 7, 1975, when founders Billy "Reed" Garner and Robbie Lemley created what regulars simply call a gem in the desert.
- After retiring in 1987 and leasing it out for 25 years, they bought it back in 2012, preserving every nostalgic detail. Lemley passed away in 2019.
Zoom in: This isn't a restaurant chasing social media followers or designer aesthetics. The covered entrance welcomes those who need extra time getting inside, while the interior reveals decades of collected treasures that required extra space just to house it all.
- The handmade pastries come with an apology from Billy himself on the menu: "Forgive us if we run out."
The bottom line: In a valley of trendy hotspots, Billy Reed's remains what it's always been — a place where generous portions, warm wood interiors, and a devoted family of regulars prove that taking care of customers never goes out of style.
