for example:

Lendy's Café & Raw Bar (01-1176)

unicode(string,'utf-8') is crapping out for me

py", line 74, in <module>
    print 'Insert ' + unicode(placeData['name'],'UTF-8')
TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported

This does not seem to be an issue any more, at least as far as the scraper is concerned. Lendy's is in the system and can be searched for.
