Why my kids are pop-culture illiterate August 29, 2010 Chuy's opening Kentucky location August 30, 2010 – Interesting. Chuy’s is a local chain of Mexican places. Very fun and high-concept, with mediocre food. It’s where people at local tech companies take their out-of-town business guests. Kentucky seems an odd fit. Now Memphis, that would be interesting, given Chuy’s fondness for velvet Elvises. For Now, Most Americans Happy to Be Un-Located [Privacy] August 30, 2010 –…
