They are really eclectic! Everywhere you turn there's something legitimately retro, or made to look that way. And the weather isn't too bad either! @Steve Mirsky,

Inside, they had a great selection of books covering area highlights. One of them covered all the different architectural styles in the Coachella Valley. Of course it doesn't hurt that this has always been a hideaway for movie stars...they really get to experiment with style. Some houses, like the late Bob Hope's are truely out of this world. They look like they are from another planet! And that matches the desert landscape perfectly.
