Shoefiti Strikes Midtown Manhattan
We continue working through shoe reports from the boroughs. Today’s update comes from Midtown Manhattan via The Known Universe:
While walking in Midtown the other day, I saw a pair of dangling sneakers and wondered whether or not I should take a picture of them. I�ve taken a lot of dangling shoe pictures, and a lot of other people have too, and since there wasn�t anything particularly unusual about this pair, I nearly passed them by. �That whole shoes on a wire thing is so overdone. But after walking under them, I gave a final glance over my shoulder and saw the Empire State Building looming in the background. �Cool,� I thought, �That�s worth taking a picture of.�

Tourists come for the shoes?
The blog post’s comments includes a wide variety of theories on what dangling sneakers mean.
