The New Shanghai.

This is the view from our apartment. If you look down to the bottom left you can see the storefront of a restaurant called New Shanghai. When we moved into our apartment the landlady was pretty relaxed about most things and casually explained all of the logistical aspects of the apartment rather nonchalantly. Then she got really dramatic and serious and said "You guys, there is one thing, you must NEVER, EVER eat at the New Shanghai across the street." She was more emphatic about this than about any other aspect of our apartment. She then put forth some hypothetical situations where we might think it's a good idea to go to the New Shanghai and she insisted that we must "Never, EVER go." She reminded us not to go at least two more times before she left that day.

Naturally, we eat there every day. We love it.

why do you suppose she didn't want you to go to the new shanghai? Are the neighborhood pets disappearing?
