Tripatini, a social networking site and blog for travelers, featured an article in their blog on March 1, 2010 entitled, “Basking in Palm Springs Sunshine – and History.”
Here’s a sample from the article:
“California’s eternally sun-drenched desert resort is of course famous for a number of things, among them for being “the playground of the movie stars,” for its golf, its eponymous hot springs, its scorching summers, and its gay/lesbian resorts (even the current mayor plays on that particular team). All of which help make Palm Springs a tourism magnet – its 48,000 population doubles in winter, while in July and August locals — mostly transplants from colder climes – have their oasis to themselves.”
