    ‘ Today’s post is loooooong overdue.  For ages now, I’ve been talking about putting together a guide to Palm Springs.  Having lived in the desert for over six years, regularly playing a tourist in my own town, has given me quite an insider’s knowledge of the area.  Who better to share that knowledge with than…
