I had no idea that is what that meant. I have only seen it occasionally in Denver. Superb image - both for its story and its graphic impact. ~BV~

I'm guessing the shoe stores might be doing a thriving business there as well.

Evidently lots of drugs in this area. No need to look up, just look for the people without shoes. "V"

Very interesting shot. Judging by the number of shoes, there must be a lot of crack for sale here. V.

according to that legend this must indeed be a drug hot spot, as well as having a lot of people with cold feet..
