In 1961, 34-year-old officer Gale Eldridge became the first cop in Palm Springs to be killed in the line of duty. He at this home, in the Little Beverly Hills neighborhood of Palm Springs, California.
I took my walk this morning, down Bedford Drive to remember officer Eldridge and this sad moment in Palm Springs history.

I saw Hugh Grant on a talk show the other night. He said one of his biggest pet peeves was leaf blowers. Another was water bottles his kids lug to school. He said what happened to drinking from the fountain like he did as a boy……lol.
You're like me..I tell everyone I'm allergic to oxygen
Well it sure looks like a beautiful day there. It is 9 degrees in southern minnesota
💔
Thanks for sharing, Steve
Gosh, those homes are beautiful. Very sad about the Officer, so very young.
Gosh Steve you make me feel so much better with these tours! I'm stuck in 20 below and snow and seeing the beautiful weather and pretty homes is a relief!! Thank you
I'M VERY SORRY ABOUT THIS POLICE OFFICER, WHO LOST HIS LIFE IN THE LINE OF DUTY. I'M SURE HIS FAMILY IS THANKING YOU, FOR THINKING ABOUT HIM🙏🙌❤️
Good morning Steve. If you want a nice looking yard you need machines to do that. And unfortunately they do make noice for a while. The alternative is nasty looking landscaping. I’m also guilty of operating a mower,string trimmer,and blower to keep my yards and garden looking nice. But it’s only for half an hour to an hour.
Beautiful homes. Thanks for showing us around. Rest in peace to the officer killed. Steve, you and Jim take care.
Love those homes
Rest in eternal peace Officer Gayle Eldridge, thank you for your service to the community. 🇺🇸
The pink bougainvillea with all its thorn's, they are beautiful but the thorns are almost deadly
Thank you for another interesting video-
So sad about the police officer—RIP-It always feels so sad, injust and haunting to see a picture of someone who's life has been taken, destroyed, gone forever, be it by acts of lethal violence, or by accidents, or natural disasters, for instance… Behind every photo; an entire life story, lots of memories, feelings of hope, of love and friendship, of pain and misery, of wishes,… Also, I can't help but think about all the people heavily affected by the LA wildfires right now, those who have perished in particular, and also the subsequent disheartening reports of looting and even attempts at arson(!!), committed against people who are right now already understandably distraught and completely down on their luck – in the worst place imaginable – so to speak… The unspeakable cruelty of life – and of some people. I think of how all kinds of emergency services workers are now giving all their best to try and get that current living inferno under control and to restore things as much as possible back to normal for the Angelinos and Angelinas. We all owe a deep respect and profound appreciation to all men and women (and to the k-9's and equestrians assisting them), like this police officer mentioned in this video, and those now active in LA, who serve us, the public, 24/7, in the line of duty: all police officers, but also all other first (emergency) responders such as firefighters and paramedics… Without them our society falls, life comes to a stand still, chaos reigns… They are the often silent heroes who keep the wheels of life and of justice going. We should rightly, respectfully and solemnly commemorate especially those among them who died while they were putting their own life on the line in order to save and protect ours.❤️🤍💙
My prayers are with them, and at present also with the people of Los Angeles. Nice video, Steve! Thank you.
Thank you, Steve!❤️
Thank you Steve for all you do to keep alive the memories of those who might otherwise be forgotten.
Hi Steve, I luv the mountains in the background. Beautiful house & always learn something on your video. Sad story & I’m married to a cop.
Steve check out my crockpot beef stew for a quick comfort meal. It’s a bargain dinner & great for leftovers 👍😋
Don't you walk early in the morning? Are there any city ordinances regarding how early one can make significant noise (like a leaf blower)? I usually fall asleep around 4 or 5 a.m.– if my landscaper started his leaf blower at 6, he would soon be wearing it.
Sad to see behind such beautiful minimalist mid-century modern dream homes lurked some pretty dark stories much like Don't Worry Darling which is only a so-so domestic thriller but a spectacular visual exploration of Palm Springs finest architecture including the Kaufman House, which was the first film to shoot there I believe… Along with Case Study #22 are my two favorite American houses not designed by Frank Lloyd Wright or Philip Johnson… Another great video!
I wish they would ban those leaf blowers altogether.
Speaking of videos being put out back to back….Steve you're an animal! I think a lot of the viewers probably like to hear from you as much as possible even if the videos are a little shorter. Just noticed that the home you visited today at 634 Bedford Dr. shares a back corner wall with the very house you visited yesterday regarding Louella Parson's daughter Harriet Parsons (613 Beverly Drive).
You keep this up and we'll have a story for every house in a 10 block area! Take care! 😉
The palm trees at the Eldridge home were absolutely stunning. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
