Plaza Theatre hosting Kathy Griffin in Palm Springs is unacceptable

I am withdrawing any future support from the Plaza Theatre due to management's decision to host the Kathy Griffin residency next year . This booking represents a glaring double standard. In 2017, Griffin posed with a mock, blood-soaked severed head of a sitting U.S. president , crossing the line from satire into graphic, targeted violence. She vocally wished for Donald Trump's death multiple times, including a tweet that he should be given a "syringe with nothing but air inside it." If a comedian depicted graphic violence against a prominent LGBTQ+ icon such as Lady Gaga or Elton John, or the mayor of Palm Springs, or a different political leader, would this institution give them a platform? By hosting her, management appears to signal that graphic political violence and targeted, public death wishes are acceptable if the target belongs to a specific political party. To give her a residency just adds insult to injury, rewarding behavior that would get anyone else permanently blacklisted. As a local resident, I will not subsidize this corporate hypocrisy, which is a shame coming from a musicain who truly loves to support orchestra and symphonies around the world. Morgan Myrmo, La Quinta Non-citizens voting? Absolutely not

Major changes planned for Palm Desert mall site. See latest proposal

In November 2023, a Los Angeles company purchased Palm Desert’s declining mall with the goal of transforming it into what it called a vibrant, mixed-use destination. Now, nearly three years later, the company has started to publicly sketch out a proposal for what that redevelopment could look like, along with a timeline for bringing it to fruition. It includes homes, shops, restaurants and new commercial buildings along parts of the site now covered with parking lots. A Powerpoint presentation published online ahead of a planned presentation to the Palm Desert City Council on Thursday, Nov. 12, details what the mall’s owner, Pacific Retail Capital Partners , describes as a still-evolving plan for a mix of new housing, “neighborhood retail” offerings and a public plaza at the site. The plan also calls for maintaining much of the existing enclosed mall, which covers about 34 acres. The presentation also unveils what would be the new name for the property: “The Village at Palm Desert.” A memo from the city's director of economic development, Martin Alvarez, says the presentation gives the council an early look at a specific plan that will be formally submitted to the city council for consideration next spring.
