Shoes on Sign Pole

[jay]

Someone told me that the shoes have finally been removed from the pole.

As of September 9, the shoes are still on the pole.

Maybe this is a new art form.  Youngstown could become the only town in the U.S. decorated with shoes.  People might come from near and far to see this attraction.  Does anyone have an extra pair of shoes to contribute?

That is a really nice clear picture of the HS tower.
Why do people always do the shoe thing??!!

It IS a nice picture.

I don't know why the shoes in this picture are there.  But I've heard that shoes hanging on a wire in front of a house means that it is a drug house.

I don't know how long they've been there, but I never noticed them before.  Now I'll look for them, and post something if they go away.  It looks like a strong wind could bring them down.

While passing through downtown Youngstown, I noticed a pair of work shoes hanging from the sign pole at the corner of West Federal Street and Hazel.  How long have the shoes been up there?  How long will it take for the shoes to be removed?
