About a month after we first reported that a popular Fall River eatery was planning to open a second location in Providence, it now appears that the original location will be shutting down.
According to The Herald News, The Ugly American at 240 New Boston Road in Fall River will close sometime within the next few days, as the owner decided that it would be too difficult to maintain two separate outlets of the restaurant. The article mentions that the new location of The Ugly American should be open later this month at 167 Ives Street in Providence's Fox Point neighborhood.
The Ugly American first started out in Fall River in 2007, though the owner had originally hoped to open Providence or Newport, RI back then, according to The Herald News. The rents were too high in those two cities, causing him to look over the border in Fall River.

Thanks to Grub Street Boston for bringing this to our attention.
