Shoes Hangin'

Urban legend has it that a pair of shoes hanging from a telephone wire is a sign that the selling of crack goes on there, or the sign of gangs marking their "turf".  Well, we have a couple of pair hanging from a wire above the bocci court (or whatever they play there) at Enslen Park.  Now, the only "gang" there is that of the "South Central" Homeless posse.  My given name, not theirs.  Could they be selling crack there? Likely not, but not out of the question.  It could just be a prank or the work of bored teenagers.  I have emailed the city about this and hope to get a response to have them removed.  Actually, they look as though they are in good shape.  Size 12's hopefully.
