I miss them dearly....
I'm still surprised they didn't make it work. Zeke's was in that location for quite a while, and it always seemed odd to have a restaurant that was completely invisible from the street. But you're right that the plaza is failing even worse lately, and there would have been less and less people coming in to the plaza for other reasons to learn that the restaurant existed at all.
