Close Not Close But No Cigar” Department

“Missed It By THAT Much.”

–Catch phrase, Agent Maxwell Smart (“Get Smart” 1960’s TV sitcom).

Maybe the developer meant “St. Louis Park West.”

Because the new luxury apartment complex at 1511 Utica in St. Louis Park is nowhere near its namesake, or a park, or anything with the name “Central” in it (although it is near the West End retail center just southwest of 394 and Highway 100, and in the general vicinity of Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis).

Or as the locals say, “by Costco!”

In the spirit of truth-in-advertising, how about this name instead:

“WAY (WAY) West of Central Park West.” 🙂
