Modernism Week

Joni and I went thrift store shopping today. It is wonderful to see the expensive clothing and items the Palm Springs women recycle. It is the thrill of the hunt for us - you never know what you'll find.

One plus for me was the exhibit downtown for Modernism week. This is the 9th annual event and very interesting. The city of Palm Springs was a hotbed of Iconic Mid-Century Modern Architecture and they celebrate their architects and history

                     

                       They were also celebrating HPEnergy, which is Hot Purple Energy as in modern ways to conserve energy.

There are several street food trucks around.

This year they honoured Hugh Kaptur who did many buildings here. There is an app for a tour of the 12 leading architects and 80+ buildings of these mid-century landmarks and also tours you can take.

I think it would be fascinating to drive by these 60's places and pop into several of the very Modern stores.
Perhaps I will one day.
