What is STJ missing?

Carrying on with a theme...if you could add one store, restaurant, etc. to make your STJ experience better, what would it be? (Don't be afraid to say super Target if that is what you really think.)
I would like a music store that rented guitars for the week. It would be much easier than dragging mine down.
Thoughts?

Electric 4 wheel jeep rentals! Less pollution and no need to waste time & $$ to get to the gas station and fill up before turning it in!
A girl can dream can't she

The island has everything that we need and more, however we mostly travel there during the summer months and we don't seem to find enough live steel pan and raggae music. We are heading down "in season" this year and hope to hear more. We do head back to the villa earlier these days, usually in the villa by 11pm, maybe that's it?

The only thing missing on STJ right now is me. That's all. I never go there and wish I were somewhere else or for anything else. Well, maybe better knives and pots/pans in my villa. But, I get over that quickly after a couple of Bill's blender drinks.

I think it's just about perfect just the way it is. I can't think of a single thing I'd add.

Nothing... nothing that I can think of would make the island more complete for me... in thought or reality.

Pertaining to villas....I wish the downstairs bedrooms had a coffee maker in a central location so I could have my early cup without waking up the upstairs sleepers!

A villa owned by me, that would be a dream come true!

Nothing that I'd want to add. But there are quite a few things that I'd be in favor of getting rid of.

An excellent suggestion - the additions over the years have rarely been needed and have destroyed a culture.

Why fix something that isn't broke?

Funny you post this question, I've been (reluctantly and obsessively) thinking about the other question question since yesterday, and this is what I came up with.
What I Love MOST about St. John,
Everything it LACKS.
I guess that you can all think about and put in the specifics. But if I had to say one (very vague) thing, that would be it.
So when you pose this question...the first thing that came into mind was recycling. At least we can recycle cans, but MAN do we throw A LOT of stuff away! Our island is way too small to be producing the amount of waste we do.

Well, my perennial wish of having a grocery service like the those on Tortola where you order your food and pick it up at the market is coming soon from St. John Market. That will work out very nicely.
Better draft beer selection... the Tap Room is expanding.
I'd love to see a road side bar, like Rudy's on Tortola, perched at a great sunset view - Cinder blocks, a plank and an ice chest... ah Victor Hall opened the St. John Bar in Coral Bay, close enough.
Okay, all my needs are met.
Cheers, RickG
