Town Crier! is random snippets of Shanghai news that just might have an effect on your life...

Smoke is once again on the skyline, this time in the heart of Xujiahui at Zhaojiabang Lu and Tianyaoqiao Lu. We hear it started around 4pm in a commercial building. 

Looks pretty gnarly. Apparently it kicked off when an electric circuit blew. More likely an old shifu left his cigarette burning in the stairwell.
