A security guard sits in front of a closed restaurant looking at customers lining up outside Yang's Fry-Dumpling restaurant next to old buildings being demolished at Wujiang road's street food market in Shanghai, China on February 9, 2010. Yang's is located on one of many renovation sites that mushroomed in Shanghai ahead of the 2010 World Expo.
