naveen: kenyatta: Shanghai, China – 1990 and 2010 via Then & Now: The Stunning Speed of Urban Development | WebUrbanist something i heard a few years ago when i was traveling in asia: there are certain parts of shanghai where the average age of buildings is less than five years something i learned from this picture: “I <3 SH” like we do “I <3 NY” :) Gorgeous. We moved to SH during the summer of 1994 and the Pearl TV Tower had already gone up. It used to be that the only place you could find US products was in the pantries of the consulate Marines, or joint ventures like Keebler crackers, or the line around the block for the only McDonalds on HuaiHai Lu. And now, virtually every US food product company has a joint venture, there are McDs and Starbucks on every street corner, and CitySuper has Boars Head cold cuts and bagels. Not that any of this matters, cuz Shanghai is still lacking good (Tex/)Mexican food, still has a pretentious overpriced fine dining scene, and the traffic is worse than DC and LA combined. On the other hand, if you fancy some good Chinese food, here is my post for newbies.

Gorgeous. We moved to SH during the summer of 1994 and the Pearl TV Tower had already gone up.
