A Bert's Eye View explores different "views" of Palm Springs and the Greater Palm Springs area. I look at architecture, history, and dig a little deeper into a variety of subjects. I manage the bus tours for Modernism Week, and a lot of these topics were the result of guests' questions. When we couldn't answer them, I started researching, and these podcasts are the result. Along the way, I have run into a lot of surprises and share them here! So follow, and if you have a question you need answered, leave a comment. I look forward to hearing from you or seeing you on one of the bus tours!Bert from the Bus Tours
