Hello and welcome to all you fellow modern pioneers reclaiming the modern heritage of your homes in Racquet Club Road Estates and beyond!
I've been promising a blog now for some time and I finally made myself sit down and figure it out...well sort of.  So my hope is that this might serve as a neighborhood town hall. Since so many of us own a home but don't actually live in RCRE it would seem that our best hope for meeting, discussing, organizing and taking action would be in cyberspace (but of course, we're modern like the Jetsons!).
I've started with a couple of topics and will be adding more and will be glad to add topics per your requests. I'll do my best to keep it updated and get your comments and responses up as quickly as I can, assuming I can.
Cheers!

      I think this is a great web site you have put together. Thank you!

      I found this web site only by doing a search on google. I am sure if all the RCE home owners were aware of this site (maybe by a snail mail post card} they would be grateful.

      Not sure how to add a new entry.
      I would like to see the telephone and power hanging wires relocated underground. I have sagging wires that hang directly over my pool which disturb me. If they fall, anyone in the pool would be electrocuted. They are also unsightly. Can we unite to have these thretening and unsightly wires relocated???

      btw, LOVE the graphic at the top of the web page. Where did you find this? Is there a way to buy a print of it someplace - it would make a great framed piece of art for inside the house! RO

      My mom, Helen Alexander Abrams, is the niece of the builder in your development. She is 88 and I would love to bring her our to your neighborhood. We have never been and we live in New Jersey. Her dad and George were brothers. Is there still a yearly event out there and if so, when. Thanks for your help, Susan Rubens

        Tricia,

        I used to rent your house from the previous owners and love it. If you don't mind me asking, are you able to defer a lot of the costs by renting your house out?

      Was wondering what would it entail to underground the utilities, at a recent tour it a ppeared that some homes had individually changed their above ground elect/tel/cable svc. to underground which I think would be a plus for the entire tract.
      What's SCE's take on this. any thoughts & etc.?

      I think we have a very good chance of having the utilities moved to undercground if we put our case together. I personally have great concern about the wires going over my poo. I am sure there are others. I also think the City of Palm Springs is well aware of the importance of modernism to the City. The Alexander homes are famous and should be invested in. I have had many problems with telephone and cable going out during the rains. How can we move this forward? We need a spokesperson who can gather the input and take it forward to: the city, the utility companies invoved (telephone, electric, cable, internet).

      I am all for having the wires put underground. When they built these homes they thought that they were being so innovative by having them in the backs instead of the streets but most of us live in our backyards most of the year. I have also had issues with loosing power and cable in rain and wind. I think we should apply to the city for thise to be done but I wonder if it would make more sence to apply as a neighborhod organization first.

      I think we first need to meet and figure out how we are going to do this.
