| - If someone could move this about a mile south and merge it with Westgate, they would together become the perfect outdoor shopping/dining experience.
At this point, it's got some cool stores, but really feels like a cheap knockoff purposed with taking up tons of empty space on Northern. But with all the places to shop, the only worthwhile spot for a young dude like me is Vans. For the ladies, there's Victoria's Secret and more. I just can't get much done, but that's forgivable. Plenty of cool novelties to be found, like chocolate or cigars.
I think the dining here is underrated, with the BJs, Fleming's, and Grimaldi's, which make the chain restaurant game very competitive. Unfortunately, less glamourous restaurants that are tucked in and not obvious don't seem to last long. RIP Sandbar, Lucky 13, etc. All attempts at a casual drinking spot are gone. :-(
As far as I know, the sole nightlife attraction is now Toby Keith's. A large country bar is definitely something there's a demand for, but it's too big and too isolated of a plaza to have just *one* go-to spot. People usually stop by for an hour or two, but decide what's left of variety down the road is more appealing.
In the end, I like Park West. It's certainly stylish and comfortable. There's tasty food for everyone. But it's just not a place I have a reason to spend more than an hour or so in, whether it's day or night.
