Worth the Drive is NBCLA's twice weekly look at nearby getaways

If, to you, the perfect house has a flat roof, walls of glass and was built in the middle part of the last century, you might want to high-tail it to Palm Springs this weekend.

The Palm Springs Preservation Foundation is celebrating Palm Springs' modernist roots by paying tribute to famed local architect Donald Wexler. Wexler will turn 84 on Saturday.

And you, architecture-lover, are invited.
