This appetite for personal data reflects a fundamental truth about Facebook and, by extension, the Internet economy as a whole: Facebook provides a free service that users pay for, in effect, by providing details about their lives, friendships, interests and activities.

dirtyrichmond: Words by Sabrina Barekzai:Just across the street from The Byrd Theater sits the newly opened Don’t Look Back. The brainchild of New York Deli co-owner Hamooda Shami and Nate Gutierrez of Nate’s Taco Truck fame, this is Richmond’s new taco hotspot. Don’t Look Back (which takes it’s name from a Belle & Sebastian song), marks Nate’s return to taco-slinging after closing up his Truck Stop last year. The menu of this laid-back taco bar boasts most of same mouthwatering selections from Nate’s cart, like the TVP tacos. Taquitos and tostadas are relatively new to the menu and all done a la Nate, so they’re guaranteed to be delicious! We opted for a black bean taco done “traditional” (cilantro, lime and onion) and done “gringo” (salsa, lettuce, sour cream, cheese) as well as taquito and tostada (yeah, we were hungry!). It was fantastic to once again enjoy Nate’s tacos on a weekday afternoon! Don’t Look Back is located at 2929 W. Cary St and currently only open for lunch hours, check their Facebook page for more details.
