Some know the town as a great bedroom community with steady property values and a spirited civic life. The city, for example, has built new schools, including a terrific high school, a newly built and well-stocked public library and is home to some of the desert's biggest tourist attractions including Camelot Park and the blockbuster Big League Dreams. But there's a dark side to Cathedral City as well. Many still remember when it was the headquarters for desert sin. CC was, don't forget the site of The Dunes, one of the desert's most notorious gambling establishments, founded by the Purple Gang from Detroit.
Cat City is also the site for many of the city's more lusty attractions.
Horny straights head for the Show Girls strip and lap-dance club. I studied the neighborhoods, the surrounding attractions. The first is the traditional California Mission Latino influence, with a resulting look of Santa Barbara or the Stanford University campus. It could hardly be otherwise. The Pickfair connection is more than just a name contribution from Rogers.
