It’s the dog days of August. It is too hot to go outside and there is not a whole lot to do right now in the desert, well other than catch pocket monsters. So, I spent a few minutes putting together a wish list of some random things that would be awesome to have in the Coachella Valley.

1) Southwest Airlines at PSP

Affordable direct flights to Vegas and San Francisco. Yes please!

2) Chick-fil-A

This is probably happening at some point…but can it hurry up and actually happen already?

3) Locals-only hours at Costco

Just like an hour or two a week where everyone could shop without snowbirds

4) A Buzz Trolley for the entire valley

Palm Springs has a free shuttle on weekends. Why can’t the whole valley have something like that?  God knows that some cities in the desert have the money to pay for it.

5) Bring back the year-round Christmas radio station

There is something oddly soothing about hearing “Jingle Bells” on a 115 degree August day.

6) Rain

Remember rain?

7)  More covered parking

Everyone loves it.  Everyone wants it.  Make more of it.

8)  A bar at the top of the Bump and Grind hiking trail

Because after getting to the top, you deserve a beer.
