CHRISTMAS DAY BIKE RIDE: DISTINCTIVE ENTRYWAYS
Distinctive entryways are common throughout the 52 neighborhood organizations (NOrgs) that define Palm Springs. This casual bicycle ride will meander through Old Las Palmas, Vista Las Palmas, and Little Tuscany viewing 20+ locations. Some are notable for their architectural grandeur, some for landscape design and some for both. Homes with elaborate gates, artistic front doors and historic designations from The Palm Springs Historic Site Preservation Board and National Register of Historic Places made the list. Some locations had famous former residents: Did Zsa, Zsa once live here?
Of course, this list is completely biased.
