I lived there for a total of seven years or so, and miss the place often. Just don’t ask me to be rational about the reasons. Here’s one:<\/p>\n

Palm Springs Police have yet to catch up with a cross dressing man who robbed a Union Bank branch <\/a>on Sunrise. It happened just before noon yesterday inside the Ralph’s grocery store.<\/p>\n

A teller says the suspect walked up to the counter and handed her a note demanding money. No word how much money he got away with.<\/p>\n

Officers say the bandit was wearing a blue denim dress with a green long sleeved shirt, khaki shorts and had blond or light brown shoulder-length hair, believed to be a wig.<\/p>\n

Another Union Bank of California branch in Palm Desert was also robbed by a man wearing a wig last week.<\/p>\n

No word if the two robberies might be related.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Don’t see why they would have to be. It’s California,<\/em> people. Move on…  <\/p>\n

(But I do<\/em> want to see the video from the security cameras.)<\/p>\n
