I Know a Place...
How many times has that knowing
expression, from a friend or stranger, led you to places and
people you might never have come across - and experiences you
might never have had - had you been left entirely to your own
devices...
Get to know Palm
Springs...
...the Palm Springs for
GrownUps...
Welcome... At Palm Springs Best Places
Guide - commonly known as Best of PS .com - and soon to also
be known I Know A Place .INFO
- we've established that we pretty much know better than anyone the
Best Places for locals and visitors
to go in and around Palm
Springs. Period.  Our long-time local insider-based
perspectives are largely free of any real
commercialism because most of our sponsors are not even
the types of businesses that we
list, and if they are, they know clearly
what our guidelines are to ensure they
stay listed...
Yes,
there are other destination websites (a few
really good ones in fact) - but most
of them ONLY list places that pay to be be
there. This leaves their overall content sketchy,
unqualified and not a representative sampling of the whole of
what Palm Springs has to offer - and not hardly
anything resembling the best of the best of Palm Springs! This is how BestofPS.com and
IKnowAPlace.INFO
are different...
Our content is Comprehensive, very thoughtfully Culled and painstakingly Current - and this is what brings
virtual travelers to us time and again. We are also the
ONLY local destination website that purposefully features the new, the small, often more adult-oriented, even sometimes
somewhat alternative - always gay & lesbian friendly
- and typically independently owned
& operated mostly non-corporate places that we
feel are a big part of what ultimately makes the
overall Palm Springs experience so truly memorable
and satisfying...
Make no mistake about it - there
are plenty of perfectly good acceptable respectable
places in
Palm Springs that aren't and might never be listed here -
and we truly have nothing against any of them.
It's just that in our view (and we
have a view here) we think that "for our audience" there are only
certain places we can recommend that we believe
they'll appreciate and also meet the qualifying criteria we
have chosen to embrace
here...
In our view -
to be among the Best of the Best of
Palm Springs - a place should embody a
preponderance of the following values, characteristics
and qualities...
-
generate a
genuinely positive & dynamic energy - or what
some call chi...
-
occupy an
inspired sensory-pleasing &
comfortable physical space...
-
be run
by friendly & knowledgeable owners, managers
& staff...
-
chose to attract
& embrace a genuinely diverse "chosen"
clientele...
-
utilize a
website as a way to entice & communicate with their
clientele...
-
provide quality products,
services &/or an experience that represents a good
& fair value for the money...
-
have established
a solid reputation for delivering
consistent quality...
-
offer a uniquely interpreted sense of the new Palm
Springs style...
  
The
very popular Appreciate Art webpage once found as part of this
website has now become it's own website and can be found
at ArtPalmSprings.com - and it
remains an informative virtual
portal exclusively to the area's continually
emerging Art, Artisan and Artist
Studio/Gallery Scene. Check It Out!

"The
essence of education is not to transfer knowledge; it is to
guide the learning process, to put responsibility for study
into the students' own hands. It is not the piecemeal
merchandising of information; it is the bestowal of keys that
allow people to unlock the vault of knowledge on their own. It
does not consist of pilfering the intellectual property
amassed by others through no additional effort of one's own;
it would rather place people on their own path of discovery
and invention."
