When I was there they bought part of that lot for parking for Freshman-Juniors. Game Day tradition was a meal at Picadilly but not sure if the players and coaches still go to the location. I assume they do. Then they started buying all the houses near that lot and the main offices for the new science building. All the upgrades really took off a couple of years after I graduated.
The Westmoreland location was always my favorite. It seemed like the food was a little better. I haven't been there in years. The Sherwood Forest location used to have the reputation of having the best food because the Picadilly corporate offices are right behind the restaurant and the corporate executives ate there. The Essen location always seemed to be lacking. One of the last times I got the shrimp cocktail the shrimp wasn't cooked.
