January 12, "Crocker's Folly — The Development of, and Opposition to, the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway" by Steve Lech
Known for years as "Crocker's Folly," the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is one of Riverside County's greatest and most unique attractions. However, in the nearly 30 years it took to develop the project, there was sustained opposition to it which was very close to being successful. Author and historian Steve Lech will delve into the development of and opposition to the tram project and show how the story has been obscured by time.
