You know how towns love to boast about famous people who live there or where born there? They name stuff after them and real estate agents claim they’re listing a house that the famous person onced owned. Rancho Mirage, California however is mum on the subject of Barbara Boxer. I lived here for years before I had any idea that Boxer does as well.
It’s understandable. This is the sort of thing locals hope no one will find out about, like when there has been a gruesome multiple homicide and you don’t want it wrecking property values. The city honors the late President Gerald Ford all over the place: the Gerald “R Ford billboard; they named a street after him years ago and Mrs. Ford is a local treasure. Someone could actually blackmail the Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce by threatening to out RM as the home of Barbara Boxer.
