Best shopping in Palm Springs California

I'm going to be moving from Illinois to Palm Springs in a few months and no nothing of the area. My husband is getting relocated. Anyone have good tips, job suggestions, restaurant suggestions, bars, entertainment... help! Serious answers only please.

As already stated, Palm Springs is in the desert roughly 120 miles east of Los Angeles. It gets well over 100 degrees most of the summer.

Palm Springs is a rather large area, which includes many cities such as Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, Palm Desert, Indio, etc. It is located in the Coachella Valley. Wikipedia can give you a pretty nice overview of the area. The stereotype is that it's a bunch of old rich people. However, the reality is that there is a wide variety of people living out there, with a very large percentage of retirees. There are LOTS of places to eat and shop, plenty of schools, shops, etc. There are theaters, a few clubs, and other entertainment. A lot of the restaurants are on Highway 111. I would suggest asking some of your neighbors for restaurant recommendations. I like the Fleming's in Rancho Mirage, LG's, or Morton's for steak. They have a huge shopping center at Monterey Ave at I-10, where they have a Costco and everything else.
