Exploring Palm Springs: A Walk Downtown

I thought I'd just wander around downtown and capture some of the sights to give you a flavor of what you'd see if you walked around. Basically, this is some if the stuff you'd see if you were visiting. My camera isn't the best but you'll get the idea.

Above: The Mercado Plaza, a nice area downtown with lots of restaurants. & Above right: The McCallum Adobe area fountains..

Above: The Plaza Theatre sort of has has an art deco look to it, and is home to the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies

Interesting buildings: Check out the detailed carvings in the above left building. Above right: I love this retro mid-century architecture with the giant swoops.

Above: Cornelia White (early settler) & Above right: Sonny Bono (former Mayor and Congressman, and also of course of Sonny & Cher fame)

Above left: Everybody's favorite, Lucielle Ball & above right: "Mary", of Hamburger Mary's

Today I'm going to the top of the San Jacinto Mountain, which is 10,000 feet high. I'll report on that tomorrow!
