I hope they put a Zaxby's there.

Robyn -- that's the story -- not sure the retail will be national chains but there is suppose to be retail located there. That's part of the reason for those ugly little huts -- it will be a way of advertising the businesses in Carolina Park,

I know you asked for this a while ago, but I snapped this photo while driving by today. I don't know how to directly add the photo from the iPad, but it's at this link: Carolina Park "Billboards"

They have been doing a lot of landscaping that doesn't show up in this snapshot. Sod has gone down all over, and there are several hundred small plants now in the ground behind these structures. A least it looks like they are going to make an attempt to eventually make these look nice, but they are still just glorified billboards. There are two more of these structures, each about a block further down. They have Carolina Park painted on the tin roof.

Not going to lie, those seem pretty stupid.

They are just north of Park West Blvd, then there is one more in front of the new hospital and another on the corner leading into Carolina Park.

And yes, they do look stupid. Looks like a LOT of landscaping is going in. I was hoping these were just going up temporarily, but now I don't think so.
