Facing a deserted street in the heat of the afternoon

            Baodai Long & M. Fangbang Rd., Shanghai
Originally the main commercial street in Shanghai's old city, this street began to be "renovated and upgraded" the year before last, meaning that all the residents and shops along the street had been evicted and the remaining buildings or lanes were sealed off, waiting to be demolished. However, as the street links the Bund Finance Centre (BFC) and the Yu Garden, which are two of Shanghai's most important tourist attractions, there are, during the holiday, many pedestrians. But in the middle of the day on this scorching summer day, the street was almost devoid of pedestrians.
The wall behind the stalls in the photo seals off an old lane called Baodai Lane. This stall occupied this location several years ago when the street was still thriving. But it's not what it used to be. The old lady who runs the stall complains that her son and daughter-in-law send her to watch the stall in the middle of the day and in the afternoon when it is the hottest and least business.
