Oooh!  The phantom stop sign in the last photo -- a sign of Things to Come...?

It's hard to believe that actual humans would ever name a place they live "Pearsewynd."   But there you have it...

Kwix - ah, the Legend of the South Lowell Stop, captured on film!

I'd written this somewhat confusingly as first, as I was confused - the house was never called "Pearsewynd" - a developer who bought it / land, and subdivided it into multiple homesites (upon which there are now houses) with a cul-de-sac, etc. called the development "Pearsewynd." I agree with you, but it also sounds to me exactly like something a subdivision developer would come up with.
