Did you know that the Latin root for October is “octo” which means … yep, eight. So, why is it the 10th month? Who cares, let’s get going on what’s happening in Palm Springs this month! Ya Get One Chance This Year, And This Is It Oct. 6-8: Power Trip featuring Metallica, Iron Maiden, Guns N’ […]
How many of you read that in your heads as “Truly Julie?” Just me? Maybe it’s the heat. Not gonna lie — we’re in the triples already and it’s hot. It’s not the temperature as much as it is the sun. She’s really laying it on thick this year! Siestas are very popular in mi […]
I hope you all made it through 2022 as unscathed as possible. No matter the reason, you absolutely deserve a getaway vacation to Palm Springs. The late night temps are in the low 50s, while it’s in the mid-70s by noon and the sun is warm on your skin. Perfect tanning weather, and a heated […]
In honor of Memorial Day, I’m taking time out of my irregularly scheduled blogs to talk about Palm Springs’ significant participation in the war efforts during World War II and beyond, which were pretty darned big when you consider the size of our little town. A community of veterans Palm Springs was barely a city […]
“I need to disappear, escape for a little bit / Take a trip to Palm Springs if you’re into it.” — Mistel Marie, “Palm Springs” It’s hot and getting hotter in Palm Springs, and unless you’re a Bedouin, it’s a bit too too for outdoor adventures. How do desert rats even exist? I’d love to […]

She’s a whole lot of brrrrrrrrr. In Palm Springs, March is more of a minx: flirty and fun. Her daytimes are […]
Trying to figure out how many golf courses there are in the Coachella Valley is not as easy a task as one would think. Some e-publications say over 120, others claim there’s more than 125, and one suggested there are at least 130. No matter which one you believe, that’s a lot of golf courses! […]
While Palm Springs’ official Pride weekend is in November, we still like to celebrate in June when the rest of the world does, so we throw a Big Gay BBQ on Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15. You could even come on Friday to pre-party ahead of the big event, and stay until Monday […]
It has been over a century since Hollywood put Palm Springs on the map. Rudolph Valentino may have been the first to bring it to national recognition when he honeymooned with Natacha Rambova at Florilla White’s Palm Springs Inn. What’s so newsworthy about that?
