Books – Not as many as I would hope, but next time I’m there, I’ll look for more from local authors. For now, I would highly recommend: Palm Springs Holiday: A Vintage Tour from Palm Springs to the Salton Sea by Peter Moruzzi
Movies:
-
- Palm Springs Weekend (1963) with Troy Donohue, Connie Stevens, Ty Hardin, Stephanie Powers, Robert Conrad & Jerry Van Dyke
- Sinatra in Palm Springs (2018) documentary about Sinatra’s true home for 50 years. During his brief yet turbulent marriage to Ava Gardner his Palm Springs home was center stage. For the rest of his life, the Rancho Mirage compound on Frank Sinatra Drive, was the home he called “My Heaven”. Palm Springs still feels the ghost of Frank Sinatra.
Getting There:
-
- Drive: It’s not far from Los Angeles. Just know that if you come back on Sunday, you WILL hit traffic.
- Train: Amtrak routes Texas Eagle & Sunset Limited stop at Palm Springs.
- Bus: Greyhound has many choices – it’s not your mother’s Greyhound anymore! Free wi-fi and outlets at every seat!
