It looks like a lot of people here liked that particular location, but I also hope that a local business replaces it. Also, I know someone who worked there and they *hated* it.

I knew someone who worked at an unos and despised it as well :) I mean, I like uno's relatively OK. But, I don't think that location is any different from any other (in terms of what it is--a tacky chain). I don't remember ever going there where it was more than half full or so. I'm sorry about the people who are losing their jobs.

Technically, Uno's was 'local' despite its Chicago roots - they are headquartered in West Roxbury.
