As a second-generation Southern Californian and now resident of Palm Springs, I can safely pose the question: What's got you knickers in such a twist?? Palm trees are certainly part of my heritage as they're among the first trees I saw as a kid. However, for anyone from colder climes, the palm tree may well represent decent year-round weather, relaxed lifestyle, Mission Revival architecture and an alternative to the hide-bound past of their mid-Western or Eastern roots - even if they aren't actually living that dream. In short, it's a symbol for a non-Victorian world. What's wrong with that?
