Sad news out of Shanghai, as yet another story of street-vendor abatement crosses the news desk at SEHQ. From channelnewsasia.com:
Flip through any guide book on Shanghai and the Wujiang Snack Street is listed as a must-see for tourists. But come end-2009, reprints are in order. This is because the famous tourist attraction will soon be demolished to make way for up-market shopping malls.
It was already partially renovated last August.

Oh no, Yangs Fry Dumplings are fantastic. I'm sure they'll find a place to relocate.

That's absolutely terrible. I know there's much to be said for progress, but it's a shame to raze yet another a historic neighborhood when these are becoming few and far between in modern Chinese cities.
