Local information about Cathedral City
Cathedral City in Perspective
Riverside is one of the most southern of California's several counties and lies between Orange County, which borders the Pacific Ocean, and the California/Arizona border. Cathedral City itself is located in the famous Coachella Valley - Riverside County's fastest growing community - and can boast both the resort-city of Rancho Mirage and sunshiny Palm Springs as neighbors. Cathedral City proper dates back to 1925, when the land was first subdivided, but the valley was inhabited by the Cahuilla Indians for thousands of years before the subdivision was even thought of. The city is named after nearby Cathedral Canyon, so called due to its graceful rock formations.
Cat City Pastimes
Those lucky enough to be spending time in a cozy Cathedral City vacation condo will never be without things to do as the city and its surrounds offers a myriad of activities. Those who enjoy being out in the sun - and Cathedral City will see the sun for at least 350 days every year - can choose between hiking in the Cathedral Canyon and playing a round or two of golf at the Cathedral Valley Golf Club, self-styled as "Coachella Valley's most scenic course". Those who enjoy spending time indoors should make plans to visit the Mary Pickford Theater and Museum complex and see a Hollywood blockbuster on an IMAX screen after enjoying a walk down memory lane viewing items once owned by "America's Sweetheart".
The City of Art: Cathedral City's Major Sights
Cathedral City deserves to be known country-wide for its public art, which includes the award winning Fountain of Life in the Town Square. Built from adoquin stone from Guadalajara, Mexico, and hand-crafted mosaics, the fountain celebrates new life and rejuvenation and is truly a fountain of eternal life in the middle of the desert. Almost any of the comfortable Cathedral City vacation rentals will have at least one window that opens onto one of the city's wonderful works of art, which include Patriot Park's Hero Ming Sun Statue and the 12' tall Mountain Cathedrals stainless-steel sculpture on Date Palm Drive. City Hall's collection of American Indian Chief photographs is also not to be missed.
Cathedral City Shopping
Although the Cathedral City vacation rentals may rival any of those found in Beverly Hills or Newport Beach, the shopping centers do not, and the average Cat City shopping experience is more one of intimate quality than flashy opulence. Perez Road is the place to look for - and find - exclusive boutiques and quaint home decor shops, and, for those looking for new vehicles, Cathedral City boasts one of the largest auto-dealerships in the country: the Palm Springs Auto Mall. Those who cannot live without the mall experience should spend time at the Cat City versions of the luxury mall, which include the Canyon Plaza and the Cathedral Village shopping centers.
Dining and Clubbing in Cathedral City
Dining in Cathedral City can be an exhilarating experience as there are several internationally-styled restaurants to choose from. Although tasting the tempting traditional Mexican food should be on the top of any tourist's list, the city's Italian and Brazilian restaurants are also worth investigating. As far as hip clubs are concerned, Cat City visitors should look no further than Buddy Greco's Dinner Club, where patrons can enjoy top-notch food and drink while listening to Buddy Greco, ex-Rat Pack pianist extraordinary, tinkle the ivories.
