This is a special heads up for our fans of mid century modern style. Coming up on October 8th ~ 10th tours will be available of some of the most unique mid century modern neighborhoods in the southwest located in Palm Springs California..

The tour is conducted by a guide who is knowledgeable about the local renowned modernist architects and their striking architecture, as well as Palm Springs' fascinating 90-year history as a glamorous destination and celebrity outpost. The three-hour bus tour focuses on the exteriors of dozens of residential homes and commercial mid-century modern buildings throughout Palm Springs. Participants will learn the history of Palm Springs' architecture and the celebrated architects that put modernism on the map. As ground zero for mid-century modern architecture, and with the world's largest concentration of mid-century modern architecture, participants will see why Palm Springs draws modernism aficionados from around the world.

My wife and I took this tour in February 2010 during the Palm Springs modernism week.We had a great time and would recommend the bus tour in October or during Modernism week in February 2012.
