Last week's question was "What Occupies this Space Today?" and Rick Liftig's early morning reply was absolutely correct. The space formerly occupied by Camelot is now the site of Shish Lounge.

Liftig added his own extra credit question, challenging readers to name the other restaurants that have occupied this location. He named Zodiac and Metropol, and Danielle Herbert added Poncho McGee's and Asiago. Does anyone know of others?
