Shoefiti Crops up Where Government Failed in New Orleans

Nineteen months after Katrina. Nineteen months after promises were made to rebuild New Orleans, sections of the Ninth Ward remain in shambles. But one thing has cropped up: shoes hanging from the power lines.

Bevvie Tales: How’s New Orleans Doing?

19 months after Hurricane Katrina I went on what my friend calls the destruction tour in the lower Ninth Ward. As we drove down one street with homes still in need of repair I looked up to see a pair of Tennis shoes hanging from the power lines crossing the street. I was told this was a sign that drugs were available in this neighborhood. I wanted to take a picture but we dared not linger. It was not safe.

Check out Bevvie Tales for a photo tour shot last week.
