Various types of tennis shoes hanging from a power line in Detroit Michigan USA
Various types of tennis shoes hanging from a power line in Detroit Michigan USA When shoes are seen hanging from power lines in urban areas it is usually indicative of gang-related activity, marked boundaries or turf, or indicates that cocaine and/or other drugs are available for purchase. However, in other times and places, the hanging of shoes in trees or over power lines also had other meanings and little or no relationship to gangs, drugs, or murder. by James D Coppinger / Dembinsky Photo Associates
