This guy is a music street vendor in Shanghai, China.
His "store" attracts attention, is self-contained, mobile, and has a mini billboard. He can easily replenish inventory, swap out the selection, and quickly change location (for whatever reason). Ignoring the fact that he's selling pirated CDs- this guy is resourceful.
Street vendor creativity is abundant when resources are limited. In rural Uganda, where electricity is not available in many homes, mobile phone users go to phone charging booths to juice up. In Bangladesh "phone ladies" run businesses where they charge fellow villagers to make and receive calls on their cell phones.
Know any other creative street businesses?
