Debbie shot this photo of "shoefiti" (shoes slung over a power line)! Some call shoe-slinging folk art..others will tell you it has to do with the human need for self expression.
The Urban Dictionary defines "shoefiti" as "the artistic expression of slinging shoes tied together by their laces over power lines. Generally photographs are taken of the shoefito for distribution among fellow "artists" as well as the general public."

Shoefiti? What will these kids think of next? Do they try getting back the shoes afterward or do they only use old pairs?
I call it vandalism
I thought I had heard it was to show where you could buy drugs... maybe that was misinformation...
I've heard the same thing, don't know if its an urban legand or fact.
I never knew their was an actual name for this,lol, weird! Nice creative photo though for theme day!
It does mean that there are drugs sold in the neighborhood. I love that they call it "art" though!
