Hadn't really considered that there's no actual park near Park Place / Park West. Maybe they're named after the three parkways crossing 54 -- Cary, Morrisville, and Weston?

Alas, we missed the chance for a mashup name crossing Preston + Weston.

Parkside is another missed chance: Cary Glen was originally called Panther Creek; the name stuck for the high school, but it would be a pretty cool name for the wider area N/NW of Carpenter.

Exactly my issue! ParkWEST should in fact be WEST.

True, and also sushi at the park, a decent non-chain option. Haven’t been to that Indian-Chinese place, Wok on Fire. I guess we could get something good there. We need more apartments, but connecting to that 2 lane O’Kelly chapel rd? People don’t even know how to merge properly after the double left turn becomes 1 lane after the turn. All you need is more ppl coming out onto that road.
