As another desert season draws to a close and fewer tourists remain, our community magazine’s sense of unity is enduring. The Rancho Mirage Insider Magazine is deeply rooted within Rancho Mirage and the Valley communities, serving as a vital link to the many residents who proudly call this place their year-round home. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to you, our valued reader, and all the advertisers whose support keeps the community spirit strong, especially during the summer months.
In this edition, we are thrilled to showcase the inspiring story of Randy and Lorraine Barnes, the proprietors of Rancho Super Car Wash, popularly known as The Elephant Car Wash, or The Pink Elephant Car Wash. Their successful enterprise has garnered attention recently due to the restoration of its iconic sign and its designation as an historical landmark. Randy and Lorraine offer a candid and deeply personal account of what RSCW represents to them and their community. Turn to page 20 to delve into their heartfelt interview exclusive to the Rancho Mirage Insider.
Our May Edition provides valuable insights into a wide range of topics, from health, home and fine dining to design, pet care, and the shopping realms-in-person and online. Check out the table of contents on page 6 and flip through the magazines to discover all the enriching community-submitted content.
