• Renowned Indy golf architect Tim Liddy and his courses (indystar.com) — Golf architect Tim Liddy's work restoring Pete Dye's Stadium Course at PGA West puts La Quinta briefly in the spotlight within a broader look at his projects worldwide. Locals will recognize the aerial view of the sixth hole framed by desert mountains, even though the story mainly profiles Liddy's career and other courses far from the Coachella Valley. 
• Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Lewis Hamilton's jaw-dropping 'minimal monastery' $240m property portfolio (hellomagazine.com) — Kim Kardashian's sprawling property portfolio includes a custom-built, concrete-and-zen vacation home in La Quinta, adding star power to the local luxury market. While most of the story tours her and Lewis Hamilton's homes worldwide, it notes that this Coachella Valley retreat serves as a quiet desert escape for her family.
