    Librairie Avant-Garde removes iconic storefront sign and bans commercial shoots, sparking 'rejecting traffic' controversy

    The Wutaishan flagship store of Nanjing's Librairie Avant-Garde removed its iconic storefront lettering and announced a ban on commercial photography, Polaroid photos and similar activities, triggering public debate over whether the store was closing and whether the move was overcorrecting; the bookstore responded that the storefront is undergoing maintenance and renovation, that it remains open as normal, and that the ban targets congestion and safety hazards caused by commercial shoots occupying passageways. Progress: company response. Entity involved: Nanjing Librairie Avant-Garde. Scope: flagship store operations.
