in suspense





I don't know why...because...?

  1. I wonder why you always see shoes hanging from wires? I think I heard once there is a reason, but I forget now. Must be tough to get them up there, lots of trial and error...

  2. I've heard there was a drug dealer in the area. But that may just be an urban legend.

    Good to have you behind the camera again!

  3. There's lots of urban legends about them but I believe it's mostly- monkey see, monkey do. Everyone's seen shoes hanging from wires, so if they find some, they tie them together and try to throw them up over some powerlines or something. Until we make it an Olympic sport...uh...yeah.

    I took a picture of the boots near my friends' house 100 miles away because I thought, "You never see people do that with boots," only to see this week that someone hung some boots on my corner. The boots that they hung by my apartment are tagged too, as if it's the "gang territory" urban legend variation of the shoes-from-wires thing.
