I was just watching Extreme Home Makeover and one person mentioned that those shoes that I see hanging on power lines indicate what type of drugs are being sold in the neighborhood. Is anyone aware of this "signaling"?
What do those shoes hanging on power lines mean?

Drug dealers and gang bangers are really intelligent aren't they? With all their signs and such. I think the country should somehow attract all gangmembers to attend some type of event that would lure them to attend...and then when you get about a million of them in one spot....drop a bomb on them.
The "shoes-on-a-line-equals-gangs-and-drugs" is an urban legend. Perhaps somewhere, at some time, this was a coded signal for drug sales, but the act of Shoefiti has many different meanings in different areas.
I wouldn't get worked up about this, and I would tell the Extreme Makeover folks to quit repeating urban legends.

I did see a pretty good pair of sneakers hanging near sylvania. They looked about my size and I thought about trying to get them down. I guess I'll write Ty Pennington and see if he'll come out and get them for me since his show was giving out bad information.
When u get yer ass beat in the hood the take yer shoes n throw them up on the line for a warning
"And I thought it was just a sign of a "Bro-tha" marking his turf??
I believe He's the one with his pants hanging down past the crack of his ass..."DON'T Y-ALL THINK THEIR COOOOOOL !??

What I heard about the pants around knees was that it came from prison, easier access for sex. Hmm guess someoen should inform the idiots out on the street that they are wearing a fashion for prison queens.

No belts allowed in prison, hence pants that don't stay up. Young hood's emulate the prison style. Nice choice for role models huh?
big words from a person who uses "mudhen" as a user name. You could have gone with Walleye, you know. At least they have teeth.
what does the name mudhen have to do with big words? Talkin down the hens?? Last time I heard Minor League baseball was setting attendance records..... Hows hockey doin bro?? Oh yea I forgot... Almost dead.. And yea atleast walleye do have teeth.... thats more than we can say for your mom..... Aye
my mom used to have teeth, then the whole crack addiction thing caught up with her. That's why we affectionately call her "gummy". How is mom anyway? We haven't heard from her since you two went on your honeymoon.
Wait did i say your mom had teeth? my bad i forgot..... u aint got a mom u have 2 dads.....
