12/15 The Village of Borrego Springs

This is a very nice little village with quite a few permanent homes spread out in the nearby desert, having a population of 2,800.  The town is actually in the middle of Anza Borrego State Park, and there are a lot of things to do here--hiking, biking, exploring in outer areas via 4-wheel drive vehicles, golfing, tennis, shopping, etc.  There are three small grocery markets, two gas stations, several restaurants, hardware store, a museum and nature center, an art gallery, a coin laundry, and a lot of other shops.

No big chain stores, but you can get most of what you need here.  

The town is centered around a large round-about circling a park with public toilets.  Spokes of the wheel will take you to various businesses and the art work I described in the last post.

A display of purchasable metal art in a local business.

A few more businesses on the "main" street. 

A small public garden next to the nature center.







There is a small sign on the main town road notifying you of the "Mall."  Unfortunately, it is not very clear that down the two entrances are several very nice stores, the coin laundry, a public library, the post office, the sheriff's office, and a lot of other things. 

One part of the Mall has a shop that sells metal sculptures, which are on display outside.
