Check out a City in a New Way

A great book to add to your collections is:
The New York Times 36 Hours 
150 Weekends in the USA & Canada 

This book gives you great ideas of things to do and see for places that you have already been to or wanting to visit.  For example if you would like to see all the great architecture in Palm Springs go to the visitor center to get a self guided tour of mid century modern buildings.  Who new how many great finds in our own backyards.
