On Friday we shared the shattering news that the Pizzeria Uno had closed after decades of dominance in Union Station.

There will be one boombox that plays Beastie Boys, John Denver, Manu Chao, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and some alt country.

Will email ya the day I post so you don’t miss it.]
Stay warm!
