Where I come from it always meant that a drug dealer was in a house nearby. That way if a potential buyer could cruise around and the drug dealer would sell him the drugs. Don't know how true it is, we hear a lot of urban myths.

I heard that in urban areas the power lines mark the boundaries for gang territories and the shoes symbolize that this territory is already taken. But some people do it for fun as well. I've seen kids trying to throw their shoes up on power lines a couple of times. It just depends on the situation.

Don't have the answer to this one, but what a great question. Kids I would guess are bored and they do this to see who can do it. With Nylon Strings, those shoes are sure to be up there for a while.

I saw on a local DC news station last week that it usually means that it is a tribute to someone who died from a violent crime like a bad drug deal.

Why do people put pennies on railroad tracks? Just because. Don't look for a meaningful answer, there isn't one.

They do it as a prank. And it will get the owner upset espcially if they were their favorites,expensive,or brand new.

I think it's a form of graffiti, which is just vandalism in my opinion.

It means drugs are sold in that area.....and you probably shouldn't be there.
