You can now rent Sinatra’s Palm Springs pad for a mere $2,600/night (3-night minimum), according to Time Magazine, which carries an article on the house along with some photos of what you get for all those precious clams.
I’ve had a few queries about the 2009 Frank Sinatra calendar, so I did a bit of research. In most years the calendar is announced in August, so I’m surprised, but happy, to find this information.
