The Chi Chi (not Chi Chi club, just plain old Chi Chi) was probably the best entertainment venue Palm Springs ever had.
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, Sophie Tucker performed there and just about everyone went there.
During the 40s and 50s the place was hot. In 1950, they added a supper club with a stage that retracted to an ice rink.
Please add what you know about this great place. As time goes on, the memories fade...
I'd like to know the locations. I'm thinking there were two locations, the second being a more modern building (at least that's what it looks like from some of the pictures I've seen.
Is it still there, or has it been turned into a supermarket?
