  • Ugh, you thought shanghai weather was hot already? Apparently its supposed to have entered the hottest part of summer just yesterday. Also, there will be thunderstorms. Fun. [Shanghai Daily]
  • Paul French decries the destruction of old buildings in Hongkou thanks to the World Expo. Sigh, not everybody can have the semi-fabulous fate of Taikang Lu and Xintiandi we guess. [China Rhyming]
  • On the upside, 13 of the city's parks are going to be upgraded this year (most likely for the same reason old buildings are being destroyed). On the list are Changfeng Park, Shanghai Botanical Garden and Shanghai Zoo. [Shanghai Daily]
  • GM's joint-venture with SAIC has been one of the few profitable things in their portfolio recently, so we guess it's not a big surprise that they are turning Shanghai into the new global operational base. [Alibaba]
  • Smartshanghai checks out Shanghai's shores, heading out to Jinshan beach for a little fun in the sun. [SmartShanghai]
  • Corning Inc. is the latest company to put their money behind the USA Pavilion, which was officially confirmed earlier this week. [Press Release]
